@Taskerland Did you know you don't get scurvy if you eat raw penguin meat, that's actually the key to surviving prolonged expeditions in Mountains of Madness I think. As long as you accept you're eating mutant penguins you'll be fine, they're a heavily mentioned resource.
The secret of how Amundsen beat Scott in race to south pole? A diet of raw penguin
Starving and trapped by ice, the Norwegian’s crew had discovered how to beat scurvy on an earlier voyage. The benefits proved crucial

@Printdevil I *did* know that and I also know that Amundsen learned that trick while on a doomed Belgian expedition he joined as a younger man.
The leader of the expedition was a dashing young nobleman with no experience who went mad because he refused to lose face in front of the men by abandoning the weird canned meats he had chosen to purchase.

@Taskerland worth avoiding the liver of most such wildlife, toxic vitamin A build up.
I read Madhouse at the End of the Earth two days ago because I was on a rabbit hole about outfitting expeditions because of the Arkham Horror version of Mountains of Madness.

@Printdevil That is a really good book. Just sheer psychological compression.
