What's worse: being hunted by an eldritch horror, or slowly dying of lead poisoning in a freezing wasteland where the sun disappears for months? On this episode of Acceptable Losses, DK and Kirioth dissect the doomed voyage of the Terror and the Erebus. We're looking at the show, the book, and the grim historical reality of Sir John Franklin's 1845 lost expedition. With heavy-lifting historical research from Possum, we pull back the curtain on scurvy, starvation, cannibalism, and the relentless Arctic night. 0:00 - 3:00 Intro 3:00 - 1:59:00 Episode
