This Panorama, painted in 1850 by H.C. Selous, depicts Sir James Clark Ross's ships in two distinctly different scenes: First, at midnight in the Arctic summer, navigating open leads between drifting icebergs, and second at high noon in the Arctic winter, with the sub long gone and the moon providing the only illumination (note the stark shadow cast by the men outside the ships). It was customary, since Parry's venture in 1820, to plan on staying over at least one winter, 'housing in' the ships with canvas tents hooked up to the masts, and banking them with heavy blocks of insulating snow.
