The Terror vs. Against the Ice: Striking Similarities in Arctic Survival

Both The Terror (2018) and Against the Ice (2022) are survival stories set in the Arctic, depicting explorers facing brutal conditions, dwindling resources, and psychological breakdowns. While one incorporates supernatural horror and the other remains grounded in reality, their similarities are striking.

1. Based on Real Historical Expeditions

The Terror is inspired by the Franklin Expedition (1845), where two British Royal Navy ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, became trapped in ice while searching for the Northwest Passage.

Against the Ice is based on the Alabama Expedition (1909), led by Danish explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen, to prove that Greenland was a single landmass and claim it for Denmark.

Both expeditions resulted in isolation, extreme survival challenges, and death for many involved.

2. Harsh Arctic Environment & Survival Struggles

Both stories showcase: ✅ Extreme Cold – Subzero temperatures, frostbite, and snowstorms threaten survival. ✅ Lack of Food – Starvation forces desperate measures. In The Terror, it even leads to cannibalism. ✅ Isolation – With no means of communication or rescue, the characters slowly descend into despair and paranoia.

3. Psychological Breakdown & Paranoia

In The Terror, the men experience mental deterioration, causing mutiny, hallucinations, and violence.

In Against the Ice, prolonged isolation and hardships lead to hallucinations and strained trust between the two explorers.

4. The Bear Attack & Ammunition Shortage

One of the most striking similarities is the dangerous bear attack and lack of ammunition:

Against the Ice: The explorers are attacked by a polar bear but are low on bullets, making the fight for survival extremely tense.

The Terror: The crew faces a shortage of ammunition, which proves disastrous when they have to defend themselves against both the supernatural Tuunbaq monster and natural threats.

In both cases, a lack of firepower heightens the danger, reinforcing the fragility of human survival in the Arctic.

5. The Tragic Outcomes

Both expeditions end in tragedy, though in different ways:

The Terror is a horror-filled nightmare where nearly everyone perishes due to cold, starvation, mutiny, and supernatural terror.

Against the Ice is grounded in realism, with one explorer dying before rescue, emphasizing the loneliness and suffering of Arctic exploration.

Key Difference: Supernatural vs. Realism

🔹 The Terror introduces the Tuunbaq, a supernatural monster inspired by Inuit mythology, adding horror elements. 🔹 Against the Ice keeps the threats purely realistic, focusing on the harshness of nature and the limits of human endurance.

The ancient food culture of the Jagannath Temple, dating back to the 12th century AD or possibly even earlier, is a remarkable tradition that showcases a blend of spirituality, community, and culinary mastery. The temple's kitchen, often referred to as one of the largest in the world, serves a daily assortment of 56 varieties of food, known as the Chappan Bhog, which is offered to Lord Jagannath. These offerings are later distributed as Mahaprasad to devotees. http://bit.ly/mahaprasad

The preparation of this vast array of dishes involves around 1,000 cooks and assistants, using traditional cooking techniques such as boiling, steaming, and baking. These methods, rooted in simplicity, ensure that the food remains nutritious and healthy, reflecting the principles of Ayurveda. The adherence to these ancient techniques not only preserves the purity of the offerings but also aligns with the belief that food should nourish both the body and soul.

The Jagannath Temple’s kitchen operates on an intricate system where the food is cooked in earthen pots over wood-fired stoves. The layered arrangement of pots, where multiple dishes are cooked simultaneously, is a unique feature of this cooking process, symbolizing both efficiency and tradition. The food, prepared without the use of modern additives, holds immense cultural and spiritual significance, representing the age-old customs of devotion and communal harmony.

Cooked rice (preferably leftover and slightly fermented)

Tomatoes

Mustard oil

Salt

Garlic cloves

Onion

Dry red chili (adjust according to spice preference)

Instructions:

Prepare the Pakhala:

Peel off the skin of the roasted tomatoes and chop them roughly.

Semi-mash garlic cloves and onion.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, semi-mashed garlic, semi-mashed onion, mustard oil, salt, dry red chili (crushed or chopped), and a portion of the fermented water from the pakhala.

Mix everything together gently with your hands, applying low pressure to allow the flavors to meld without fully pureeing the ingredients. The fermented water will add depth of flavor and enhance the overall taste of the chakata.
