Interesting turn of phrase: the article uses the words "pristine condition" but also mentions oral tradition that the ship was "crushed in ice." Pristinely crushed?
Yes, I understand that in archaeology etc. phrases like "practically undamaged" don't mean quite the same thing they do in everyday life, but I still find it amusing.

Just noticed that, if anybody bothered to pay attention to the natives, they would have found the HMS Terror in Terror Bay decades ago.

The Terror is in Terror Bay. This is so appropriate that it sounds like a joke. Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?
