In this episode Deep Blue Diaries, we’ll plunge into one of the most chilling tales in maritime history—the Belgica Antarctic Expedition of 1897–1899. Join us as we explore the extraordinary true story of a crew of explorers who ventured into the uncharted waters of Antarctica, only to find themselves trapped in the ice for over a year. With no hope of escape, they battled extreme isolation, freezing temperatures, and a descent into madness.

All of my sources for this episode are below, but I want to particularly acknowledge author Julian Sancton, Julian and his book Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night.
