Arctic Research Hoodies
Description: MAX's True Detective Season 4 brings its audience to Alaska after a group of scientists mysteriously vanished. What is the true TSALAL meaning in True Detective Season 4? In Hebrew, the word "TSALAL" was used in the Old Testament to say "to be, to become, or to grow dark." In the literary industry, the first English writer to have gained notoriety for using this word was Edgar Allan Poe. He used the word in his 1838 story, entitled The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. In the story, Tsalal was the name of the mysterious Antarctic island that a group of violent and cannibalistic natives inhabited. This story was later continued by Julius Verne, 50 years after Poe died in his 1897 story, entitled An Antarctic Mystery.
Description: Season 4 of True Detective is set in the town of Ennis, Alaska, located 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, as a banner of text makes clear early on in the Jan. 12 premiere. With Jodie Foster as the lead, and Issa López as the new writer and director, the fourth season follows the disappearance of eight men from a research station and how it might be linked to the unsolved murder of an indigenous woman. There's also a ghost named Travis. Ennis isn't a real town, but the show was based on a real area in the northernmost state: North Slope Borough, Alaska.
Description: Part of a series of Travel Posters by Walford Designs. This series explores places and maps, listing key points of interest, historical sites and charting the terrain. This map shows the research stations that are based on Antarctica. Yes this list isn't exhaustive but if you're planning on visiting them I'd recommend a slightly better map and possible check their opening hours. I hear the walk back if they're closed can be quite a long one.

Description: Showrunner Issa López has stocked her Season 4 of True Detective with references to culture, history, and true crime that both reinforce the themes of Night Country and draw a straight line between it and True Detective’s rich past, particularly the show’s zeitgeist-grabbing 2014 first season. For instance, the crab processing plant where we meet Kali Reis’s Evangeline Navarro is named “Blue King,” which also seems like a callback to Chambers. Could it be related to The Yellow King?
