These dogs even have their own Wikipedia page.

This looks either AI generated, or AI "restored" to a cartoonish level. OP, can you provide some background to this image?

I agree it looks a little weird; I suspect it's been manually airbrushed. Here's a 1924 prospectus with the same image (source) and many of the things that jumped out at me - especially the faces of the dogs - are the same.

Thank you very much for the polite response.

They killed all the dogs for their personal glory.

What?

They did the expedition for personal glory. Some died in transport. Some died in accidents. They ate the dogs because it was efficient to not bring extra food in case of problems.
Of the 50 that they purchased for the expedition, 2 survived.
