I would quite like to take Nansen the cat along for the ride, as he seems the polar opposite to the Cheshire cat.
The cat who was named after Fridtjof Nansen who was first person to cross Greenland in 1888 & creator of the famous Nansen sledge, was the ships cat on the Belgica.
The Belgica sailed to the Arctic in 1897 and was trapped in sea ice for well over a year. Everyone onboard became ill and depressed (as you would) and this included Nansen the cat. Apparently he spent a month in a "listless stupor punctuated by episodes of uncharacteristic bad temper" before he abandoned the ship never to be seen again.
Poor Nansen ;(
