Request for help: polar expedition horror

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

So tomorrow is Walpurgisnacht, which every good vampire-lover knows is a fun day for the dead to rise. It also is the antipode of Hallowe'en.

Hallowe'en is my high holy season for ficcing and every year I try to tackle a different kind of scary story (ghosts, vampires, creepy objects, Lovecraftian possession, etc.).

This year, I've set my sights on polar expedition horror (a la Papí Doyle's "The Captain of the Polestar."). It will more than likely be Sherlock Holmes ACD AU but I'm not wedded to that.

Anyway, if anyone has thoughts or fictional or non-fictional works about polar expeditions that I should check out, let me know! I'm starting from zero that's why I need to start early. And if I can't make it work, I shall fall back on ye ol' haunted house. :)

Has anyone suggested The Terror yet? It's on my to-watch list so I can't personally speak to quality, but it's quite popular. There's one season of the TV show (season 2 I gather will have a completely different plot) and a book as well.

No, but I'm just starting out and it looks perfect. I mean, 'demonic polar bear'? Sign me up! I put a hold on the book at the library. It probably has a nice bibliography I can explore and I did like one of the author's other works (Drood). Thank you so much!!
