just discovered this poll after the bracket is already over, but if you ever run another one may I humbly suggest Elke Mackenzie. She was a lichenologist who spent two years in Antarctica during the second world war, as part of a mission to establish a British presence there. She did a bunch of really cool moss science and also came out as trans and transitioned in 1971 and was unfortunately shunned from the academic community for doing so.

I feel like being (as far as I know) the only confirmed transgender member of an antarctic expedition makes her deserving of a place in a bracket!

omg she sounds so cool!! i wish i’d gotten a chance to include her! i will for sure keep her in mind for if/when i run a second bracket :]

this game also has shackleton but i don’t care about him bc they didn’t make him a cute girl as well

not directly poll related but i need to show you guys more about anime girl scott and amundsen because they’ve taken up residence in my head ever since i first learned about them

they even have like. event versions and are apparently figure skating rivals
