They started the expedition with 19 Siberian ponies, most died along the way, the remaining ponies were shot for food. wikipedia
It almost seems like Antarctic and Artic expeditions are a bad idea
Many expeditions to the "Unknown" ended gruesomely because they didn't know and were not prepared; While going to these places today one has a very good chance to survive. I can only assume it will be the same with space explorations (once we'll get there). The first trips will have extremely poor surviving rates but later you might as well go there with your class field trip.

The sled dogs were eaten too, if I remember correctly.
