Bodies From The Franklin Expedition in 1845

[gcas44]

Oh man!!!! I remember checking out a picture book about the Franklin Expedition when i was IN 4TH GRADE!!!! They had all the pics (there is a few you're missing, btw) and it traumatized me and haunted me thoughts at night for a long time. Just look at how creepy they look! Of course, now I find it just simply fascinating.

Whoever did the video to Interpol's 2004 song Evil had to have seen these photos.

Very good post. I find perfectly preserved bodies interesting to look at.

I cannot believe how preserved the eyes are!! Since someone explained why the lips look so funny, can anyone explain how the eyes have so far managed to stay intact? That seems crazy they haven't dwindled more.

If one were a woman her mouth would be open a little bit more, lol

Nice teeth, though.

Probably skin shrinkage (same with the myth people's nail and hair grows after death)
Or something to do with the cold. But I doubt it since frozen water expands which makes it probable they thawed a little at one point.
