I got to it by a slightly different route, finding BAY OF ?H???? on the top row. I had never heard of the Bay of Whales before my delve into Wikiland, knew no details at all of Amundsen’s expedition. It clearly could easily have gone as badly wrong as Scott’s! You do get educated doing the Inquisitor!

Thanks for the blog Kenmac – it’s not easy to cope with all that displacement activity in tabular form.

Shifting letters left and right, &/or up and down, seems to be something of a trademark of his. Does anyone recall setters other than Schadenfreude using this device in an Inquisitor puzzle?

And yes, the title wasn’t in the least bit cryptic (just as some of his others this year).

PS Ken: Your row-column indications for AMUNDSEN(i6), BJAALAND(g6), HANSSEN(e7), HASSEL(m8) and WISTING(k7) are somewhat squiffy.
