Hi all, we're aware of some difficulties accessing recordings of past Terror Camps — this is due to some changes on Zoom's end with how they host recordings. We are working on getting them re-hosted elsewhere, so please standby!
A huge congrats to Kaitlyn on her contributions to the recent ID of the remains of FOUR (!!!!) new Franklin Expedition men, as part of Dr. Douglas Stenton's research team. Full scientific paper in the thread. For access to Kaitlyn's 2025 TC presentation, please email command [@] terror dot camp.
Katie G@katiegors.bsky.social · 3mo agoLast year I was able to assist in identifying 4 (FOUR?!?) members of the Franklin expedition! I'm the amateur genealogist who researched Bridgens, Young, Orren, and Peglar, and was able to find and contact living descendants of their families who agreed to do DNA tests!

I went from "huh, I've never considered who birds are named after" to IMMEDIATE beef with the American Ornithological society. I'm also a big fan of Mrs Chippy the boy cat, justice for Mrs Chippy! Thank you to @terrorcamp.bsky.social for a wonderful first Terror Camp! #terrorcamp2025
v i t r i o l@vitriol.bsky.social · 8mo agoThings I learned at @terrorcamp.bsky.social this year: -the word “scurbotic” -the American Ornithological Society is my enemy -I would take a bullet for a Norwegian museum curator named Anders whom I’ve never met -you absolutely do not want to know how they figure out the age of a Greenland shark
These are the kinds of things that make @terrorcamp.bsky.social such a joy to be involved with. Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, made a poster or shared art, and helped organize, especially the brilliant @tchotchke.bsky.social! Can't wait to do it again next year

After spending three wonderful days watching @terrorcamp.bsky.social I had to do a monoprint of our favorite captain, Francis Crozier. #printmaking #monoprint #theterror #franciscrozier
What a pleasure to moderate this conversation. Takeaways: joy, naivety/approaching your work like an amateur, integrity - all sit at the foundation of creative work that lasts in a world designed to make it seem disposable.
Terror Camp@terrorcamp.bsky.social · 8mo agoSTARTING NOW: Our Sunday keynote! Join us now in conversation with director Edward Berger and cinematographer Florian Hoffmeister! 🤩🤯✨
Thanks again to the brilliant @terrorcamp.bsky.social team - especially @tchotchke.bsky.social, whose vision and inventiveness bring such momentum to this act of community-making.

This is the first year I've been able to watch Terror Camp live, and it's so much fun! The polar party last night at the seaport was also a blast. 🐻❄️❄️🎄
It's Day 3 of @terrorcamp.bsky.social and this afternoon we're kicking things off by learning about paleoclimatology. What a treat! 😍
Ready to do it all again? 🥰 Sunday at Terror Camp starts NOW! Tune in for our first panel of the day: Non-Human Life and the Arctic!
First time at Terror Camp @terrorcamp.bsky.social and I’m have wonderful time. The presentations have all been amazing and the community is so nice and knowledgeable!
This weekend Terror Camp is on, it's an online polar conference and it's AMAZING. I am currently at my desk watching a presentation about Greenland sharks! I'M HAVING A LOVELY TIME!
friday night i watched ken burns american revolution & played animal crossing and now saturday morning i’m drinking a matcha and watching terror camp….. perhaps all is not lost
Happy Saturday, Campers! ❄️🤩🎉 Join us on Zoom from 7:00am PST / 10:00am EST / 4:00pm CET. As always, let us know if you have any problems and we’ll help!
So happy to be nerding out at @terrorcamp.bsky.social 🤓 A rare and wonderful space where academic inquiry meets fan convention energy. Great to be with people across the world who are brilliantly, obsessively in love with polar exploration like me 😆 #polarexploration #terrorcamp #conference #fandom
