Wow. U are just amazing mr. Ron !! ❤❤❤ molto coraggioso e bravo, molto intelligente e con un hrande cuore ! Grazie che ci avete portato anche a noi, virtualmente, in quel luogo dove, dannatamente, hanno perso la vita i poveri uomini della spedizione. Triste e macabra fine hanno fatto , spero che riosa o in santa pace 🖤🌹
Thank you for documenting /providing your video footage! Some of us will never get to make that journey and this is certainly the next best thing for doing so. Greatly appreciated and you did a hell of a job providing explanations and details on all of the points you visited. Your hard work didn't go unnoticed and I thank you very much!!!
This is badass. Thanks for pointing out some of the sites where the Inuit found the dead crew members and signs of cannibalism. Makes it easier to visualize how much it must have scared the Inuit discovering that stuff Those poor poor sailors though.
Watched this entire Series of your Arctic Franklin Expedition. Each series was the more interesting then the next. Bones found, buried bodies still looking like it was yesterday. The memorial of rocks covering the bones encased in a steel locker at Boat Place. I was sad when it ended. Bittersweet.
Thanks for posting this. I was randomly looking on google maps of the far northern reaches of Alberta for a job posting I might have taken, and I found myself scrolling up and up and looking at these mysterious islands, some of which have tiny towns apparently. Nice to see the landscape through your eyes.
It’s funny you mention that, because yes, I was definitely pondering the same thing as I was standing there before the camera was rolling, when I first started to fully take it all. I can tell you this and just being there for half a day, I got this very depressed and longing feeling. A feeling that I wanted to get out of there, One thing that you realize when you are in the high high Arctic a few times for several weeks or months, how depressing and desolate it really is. Especially when you come home south, and for example you see the color “green”, what you have taken for granted. You are really taken aback of such simple things unnoticed, unappreciated and you are oblivious to. It is so flat, so barren - It is almost ONLY just rock, sand and water when you get that far north. I also noticed that the tent rings that I found were always near the smallest of slopes, where everything is almost perfectly flat. One could imagine that they were hoping that they could use the slight rise for any protection against the massive winter winds, in 24 hours of darkness. And what is truly striking is those slight rises only came up some 12 inches or so...really nothing. But in many cases, this is where they picked to pitch their tents with the stones bordering. How sad - the immense physical and mental suffering that must have taken place.
Must've been exciting to do the journey to get there and then search. Just one question I have though, I may be wrong but it appears that you were by yourself, weren't you nervous being alone in this artic desolate place if for any reason something would have went wrong? Excuse my language but you must have balls of steel 😂 anyway great video, I'm gonna watch the other parts. Thanks for sharing!
That Beaver is sweet, a buddy of mine from Ak, and I picked one up in Guatemala and flew it all the way up to Anchorage. Talk about sketchy im no pilot, but have a ton of non permissive experience, Glad I did it but total suck fest at the time.
Doug19752533 ~ From my charts and notes, I see I had the initial fix which got me close (that was published somewhere long ago) - “NgLj-2 was at 69 Deg 08’ 30” N, 99 Deg 02’ 17” W. But on my bigger chart, I believe I had noted it more correctly from the ground position as 69 Deg 08.418’ N, 99 Deg 02.476’ Very close, but I can’t remember if I stood there and recorded that GPS position on land, or did so from the air. Back then I would usually do most of my GPS fix recording from the airplane while flying or circling over.
Thanks! Got it pinned. Not far from my original estimate looking at old maps and drawings. Been a long time franklin fan since 1984 when the graves on Beechey were first exhumed and watched a documentary about it. Since then read alot of books about the expedition and other Arctic/Antarctic expeditions. was absolutely thrilled when they announced the findings of the Erebus and Terror... what secrets they might hold! also watched a great show called Arctic Passage which went into detail about the expedition, how some of the men may have survived as long as the winter of 1849/1850, or 1850/1851 with the help of the Inuit. I had also read an article about how Crozier and one other man may have survived as late as early 1860s in the Baker Lake area of Nunavut. Aparently inuit had told later searchers that two white men, Kabloona, were seen living in the area, and one was called "Alglooka", which was Crozier's inuit name. Farley Mowat, the author of Never Cry Wolf, had said that in that area a small cairn was discovered and in it was a wood box with dovetail joints, a carpentry technique unknown to the inuit
The preservation of their bodies is unbelievable. Such a fascinating but haunting story Ron. Thank you!
Ron you are such a great documentary ! Thank you for telling there stories.
Wow. U are just amazing mr. Ron !!

Ron is the only person really showing us modern video of these places the Franklin men stood. Thank you for this.

Fantastic content. Very intriguing and thought provoking.
Those poor poor men. In that place for 2+ years. How dismal. RIP.

Those poor poor sailors though.
Great videos man these are super underrated they deserve more views
Thanks so much for sharing!
A great perspective on this more than interesting piece of history.
I remember 'The Terror' season 1 having a fictionalized version of this expedition
Not sure how I am just seeing this but it's well done and wonderful !

Very interesting and enlightening, thanks
This is amazing. I so wish I could explore this area with you.
So, so sad. Thank you
Amazing dude
Desolate area....must have seemed like the end of the earth

Why are you carrying a gunshot there? expecting a Tuunbaq attack? xD
by the way, GREAT VIDEO!!
Someone saw the terror i see.
I guess polar bears?
@@felixbeutin8105 Yeah, James Fitzjames is my favorite character xD
@@lifeisshort.9869 well hey mine was Crozier 😅
@@felixbeutin8105 Crozier is truly an interesting character as well, and I truly like how he & James became friends at the end! 😅
Polar Bears, many there. they stalk humans. should I have had a .22? lol.
Would love to fly there myself. What kind of survival gear do you recommend for trips over the arctic ocean

Did you fly there alone?? Mother Hen here, worried about your safety!

Why does it look so much warmer than you would imagine? I presumed they died in ice.
because it is the height of arctic summer, late July. 6 weeks of 50 or 60 degree highs...and thats it for the year.
What is Canada hiding on KWI? Years later and theres a scant few minutes of drone footage from terror and thats it. WTF?
