Frozen in time : the fate of the Franklin expedition

Owen Beattie (Author), Margaret Atwood (Writer of introduction), Wade Davis, John Geiger (Author)
"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 136 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."--Provided by publisher
