What Really Happened to the Franklin Expedition?

In 1845, Sir John Franklin set sail from England with two ships, 129 men, and three years' worth of food to find the Northwest Passage. They were never seen alive again. For decades, the fate of the Franklin Expedition remained one of history's most chilling mysteries. What drove the crew to abandon their ships? Why did they attempt a desperate march across the frozen wasteland? From lead poisoning and scurvy to the dark whispers of cannibalism, we dive deep into the disturbing evidence left behind in the Arctic ice. In this video, we explore: The final letters sent home. The discovery of the "Beechey Island" graves. The high-tech search that finally located the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. The psychological breakdown of a crew lost in the eternal winter.
