Letter from Dr. Stanley to Dr. Fergusson written on board HMS Erebus July 12, 1845- Awe of the Arctic Exhibit 2024 NYPL

Transcript: My Dear Fergusson, having a few moments to spare before the letter bag is finally closed, I hasten to drop you a line to say that, although within the Arctic Circle , I'm not yet frozen to death and therefore in the land of the living and very jolly. We had a fairish passage out here but had a mighty gale of Cape Farewell, which sent us flying with closed topsails and courses to Cape Desolation, where in spite of the dismal name we found comfort. There's smooth water and a moderate breeze. These islands, and in fact, the whole of this western coast of Greenland, is the most barren and uninviting I ever beheld.

Some of the land is very high and serrated and has the appearance of being volcanic. On the bare rocks, large quantities of tripe-de-roche may be gathered, but as we were not reduced like our excellent captain on a former occasion to such a means of subsistence, no one I could find tried its qualities as a nutrient. We are completely surrounded with icebergs, some of them upwards of 200 feet high. They are, however, from the extreme heat disappearing fast and by their constant disruption, almost frightening your very life out of you.

I and a boat crew had a very narrow escape the other day out shooting. I had just fired and killed an eider duck when I observed that we had drifted closer to an immense iceberg, which I had previously noticed a day or two before in a decayed condition. I said to an officer who was with me "What luck it should come down by the sun!" And then ordered the men to pull quickly from our dangerous neighbor when it fell with a crash. Most stunning and awful to witness. There never was so lucky an escape. The discharge of my two barrels had no doubt hastened its overthrow. And although we were at a distance upwards of 100 yards, quite near enough we were knocked and tossed about by its displacement in the sea in a most uncomfortable manner.

The island swarms with mosquitoes and they are now flying about the gun room in all directions. They are the largest I ever beheld but not the most stinging. We sailed tonight for Lancaster Sound and the transport to dear old England with a report of our proceedings up to this period. At this season of the year, in this latitude, as you are aware there is no darkness. The sun never dips below the horizon. The nights I have there for devoted to shooting and the day to skinning and preserving the specimens I have killed. Since our arrival I have not slept more than 2 or 3 hours in 24. Goodsir is working harder than medusas and desires kindly to be remembered to you.

We are all sanguine and getting through the barrier into Beechey straits this year. Every one of the native Eskimos say this is the most open season they ever remember. And on the strength of our prospects I and the other officers have ordered letters to be directed to us at Panama and Kotzebue. The latter place will, of course, be the first port we shall make when we get through.

I have not a single man on the list and I have not had for several days. Sir John Franklin is not like the same person. He is so much improved in appearance and energy. He is almost always the first on deck and the last to leave it in all weathers. I must conclude now, old fellow, with best wishes and kind regards to Mrs. F and the bairns.

And believe me, your very sincere friend, Stephen S. Stanley. I had intended to have written to Fortnum and Masons. Pray tell them like a good soul that we are delighted with everything they furnished us and the members of the mess unanimously declare them to be trumps and we should be sorry to return before we have consumed all their good things.

Fear Not the Fire

Greetings, fellow humans! Insert "finally remembered our password" jokes here 🤓. In the mad dash to finish our album last year and start promoting it, we sort of completely forgot to do anything with this platform. I don't know how many of you keep tabs on Oh Geeez, Not Again music on Tumblr, but if that's you - we're glad you're here and we hope you're doing ok. 🙂 Wanted to catch you up to speed on the big events of our expedition since last June.

1. Our album MAPMAKER is out now! 🗺️

Telling the story of leaving the comforts of home for the limitless dangers and possibilities of the forest. MAPMAKER is a coming of age story that at some point all of us must face.

Along the way, you’ll find joy, defeat, fear, acceptance, and maybe even defy the odds and get the happy ending you’ve always dreamed of. But the only way to find out is to start. To leave behind the familiar and face the unknown. 

Pack your boots and jacket, and put a song in your heart. Your expedition departs now 🌲

Listen to MAPMAKER on all platforms here:

2. We played our first headlining show!!

To celebrate the release of MAPMAKER, we were honored to take the stage at Anodyne Coffee for our first-ever headlining show! It was an amazing night, and we were grateful to share the moment with so many of our friends!

We captured the moment in our latest music video. Catch the video for "Mapmaker" - the album's title track - right here:

3. Our year-end Livestream from Park Street

To close out 2024, we had the opportunity to go live on YouTube from Port Washington's Park Street studios. It was an honor to spend the afternoon with the fine folks at Park Street and virtually send out the year of MAPMAKER with friends from around the world!

Tune in to the full stream here:

4. WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!!! 🚐

We're so excited to announce that we'll be taking the Oh Geeez, Not Again expedition to more folks than ever before this year! Our first mini BLAZE A TRAIL tour kicks off on April 1, and we hope that we'll get to see YOU there! While this is a small start, we hope that it will lead to bigger things down the road. It is our goal to bring our expedition to the whole world some day!

Tickets and current information are listed here on our all-new website. Info will be updated as final ticket links become available! Hope to see you on the road:

Finally, as 2025 looks to be a year of upheaval around the world, we hope that our music can be a space of inspiration for you wherever you are on your journey. We're so fortunate to have such a diverse and creative group of friends and followers who we've met through our music, and the whole message of MAPMAKER is finding a way to hold onto your dreams and passions in a world that wants to strike them down. Whatever it is that you're getting up for every day, I hope that it sustains you through the times of doubt and fear. And whenever the monsters should find you, we hope you hear the words of "Conifer":

Fear not the fire, the glowing eyes They deal delusion, they seek divides But should they trap you, the trees will give you rest

I hope that our music can be one of those sheltering trees for you. We make these songs for all of you, and if they inspire you to keep creating, believing, or simply existing, then that's the greatest honor to us.

Safe travels, - Sean 🧡

찾았다, 수사학. 찾았어. 자네가 물어보던 그 창백빛 고래 말이다.

요 며칠간 집중해서 들은 결과, 안타깝게도 고래 이야기는 들리는게 없더군, 해안에 누군가가 고래를 칠해놓은 배를 비행 청소년들이 훔쳐갔다는 거 빼곤. 기록들 중에서도, 아무리 읽어도 그 처음 찾았던 보고서밖에 없었다.

하지만 답은 의외로 가까이 있었다. 레나가 해리한테 보내주는 낡은 미확인동물 잡지들 말인데- 그중 하나가 그 순경을 인터뷰했었고 우리는 그걸 읽게 됬다. 뭐, 엄밀히 말하면 해리가 읽은거지만.

어쨋든, 거기 써있기를, 그날 그 순경은 순찰돌 겸 술도 께기 위해 해변을 따라 걷고 있었다. "먼 바다쪽에서 희미한 소리가 들려 고갤 돌리자 [창백 속에서] 무언가가 움직이는 걸 봤다. 그리고 몇초 후, 창백이 바다속에서 뛰어올랐다." 여기까진 보고서에 나와있는 내용이지만, 이 다음 내용은 새로운 정보다.

"...멀리 떨어져 그 창백빛 덩어리를 쫓아 창백이 움직였다. 그 광경은 말로 설명할 수 없는 것이였다- 마치 기름이 물과 만나는 표면과 같았고 동시에 구름이 뭉개져 합쳐진 것같은 자연스러움이었다. 그리고 그 뒤로 거대한 그림자가 보였다. 갈라진 창백빛 꼬리를 향해, 전혀 어울리지 안는 어두운 물체가 잠시 벌어진 창백 사이로 보였다 사라졌다..."

그 고래 뒤에 무언가가 있었다, 수사학. 이것이 뭔진 모르지만.

Nepal, a country nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, offers an unparalleled blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie seeking thrilling climbs or a traveler wanting to immerse yourself in stunning landscapes and historical sites, Nepal has something for everyone. From the ancient temples of Kathmandu to the towering peaks of Mount Everest, the opportunities for sightseeing and expeditions are limitless.

Tours and Sightseeing in Nepal

Tours and Sightseeing in Nepal: Nepal’s diverse geography and rich cultural heritage make it a prime destination for travelers. Kathmandu, the capital, is the gateway to the country’s historic and cultural treasures. The Kathmandu Valley is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the ancient temples of Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), and the Durbar Squares in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan. These sites offer a glimpse into the country’s rich religious history and the fusion of Hinduism and Buddhism that defines Nepalese culture.

For nature lovers, Nepal boasts stunning landscapes, including verdant hills, lush jungles, and serene lakes. Pokhara, often called the ‘Gateway to the Himalayas,’ is a haven for trekkers and adventurers. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful boat ride on Phewa Lake or explore the natural beauty of Sarangkot, offering breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range.

In addition to these, Nepal’s national parks, such as Chitwan National Park and Bardia National Park, offer wildlife safaris, where you can encounter Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceroses, and diverse bird species. Whether you're trekking in the Annapurna Circuit or just strolling around Kathmandu’s ancient streets, Nepal provides rich experiences in both history and nature.

Climbing and Expeditions in Nepal

The country is home to eight of the 14 highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest (8,848 meters), the tallest mountain on Earth. For mountaineers and adventurers, climbing in Nepal is a dream come true. Whether you are aiming for the summit of Everest or just trekking to Everest Base Camp, the journey is one of the most iconic and rewarding in the world.

Everest expeditions require careful preparation and the right expertise, but for those who aren't ready for a full-scale climb, the Everest Base Camp trek offers a spectacular alternative, allowing trekkers to experience the grandeur of the region’s peaks, glaciers, and Sherpa culture.

Other famous expeditions include climbs to peaks like Annapurna (8,091 meters), Manaslu (8,163 meters), and Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters). These climbs offer various levels of difficulty and have increasingly become popular with both seasoned climbers and those seeking to conquer their first major summit.

Nepal also offers treks to hidden gems like the Langtang Valley, the Makalu region, and the remote Upper Mustang. These lesser-known regions provide the same mountain scenery and cultural immersion with fewer crowds.

In conclusion, Nepal offers an exceptional combination of cultural exploration and mountain adventure. Whether you're touring ancient temples or summiting towering peaks, the country’s natural and historical wonders ensure that every traveler, adventurer, and mountaineer leaves with lifelong memories.
