Frozen in Time: The Fate of the Franklin Expedition - Softcover
In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his men set out to penetrate the icy fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America.” And then they disappeared. The truth about what happened to Franklin’s ill-fated Arctic expedition was shrouded in mystery for more than a century. Then, in 1984, Owen Beattie and his team exhumed two crew members from a burial site in the North for forensic evidence, to shocking results. But the most startling discovery didn’t come until 2014, when a team commissioned by the Canadian government uncovered one of the lost ships: Erebus.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. New softcover in matte printed wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. (5.5 x 0.75 x 8.5 inches) Includes photo plates, photos, maps, diagrams, index, appendices, and bibliography. 300 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Frozen in Time tells the dramatic story of how Sir John Franklin's elite naval forces came within sight of the Northwest Passage, only to succumb to unimaginable horrors. A gripping tale of cannibalism, bureaucratic hubris, great courage, and groundbreaking science, it shows how the excavation of three sailors from the 1845 Franklin expedition, buried for 138 years on the Arctic headland of Beechey Island, shed new light on one of the world's great maritime mysteries - and, in this new edition, how the 2014 and 2016 discoveries of the lost ships Erebus and Terror will help solve it.
