Looking forward to catching up on it

Completely!
The emotions you can read through those contorted faces......and those eyes!!
(Unless that’s just me being super imaginative!)
I also found the fact that there were so many bones in certain areas scattered about and the researchers could piece together the movements of the men and where they camped as they tried to get down to the mainland. From these they also agreed that there had been some cannibalism.
The two messages from the cairn are so powerful.
One of the most gut wrenching things I found was the eyewitness accounts from the native people and the struggles the survivors had to try to get to the mainland. I believe there was one where Crozier and some men had been seen literally begging some natives for meat but they didn’t give them any, so they just continued to trudge along and starve to death.
The case with the boat that some had been towing and that they had just died with it through exhaustion/illness and starvation etc. I find fascinating also .... that the boat had actually been found facing away from their intended direction, like they were headed back to the ships! Never mind the fact that the boat they were towing was full of needless things, that would only help to trade with the natives by a long shot, not help them survive in the short term.
The fact that this disaster happened initially it seems simply on one man’s mistake coupled with other factors like the poisoning from the lead tins and pewter wear makes it all the more engrossing.
It’s a true historical tragedy.
