This nonfiction account examines ten episodes connected to Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition. Franklin left England with two ships to seek the Northwest Passage through the Arctic, but the exploration ended disastrously. The book analyzes what happened to the expedition and the mystery surrounding its fate in Terror Bay. Maps, photographs, archival images, and extensive back matter provide context for this account of Arctic exploration and the failed search for a route between the Atlantic and Pacific.
