Re: Polar explorers

I have very fond memories of the Vasa Museum, particularly the moment when the tour guide attempted to argue that it sank due to the maths not being invented yet. (It was in fact due to a combination of several people dying, and the King knowing what he wanted, despite minor details of it being possible.)
