I absolutely love the story of the lost expedition as well as the other expeditions. I've spent time in the Alaskan arctic. I'm moving back to Alaska in a few months. I'm going to have to pop over to the Canadian side and snoop around up there.
lucky you, i live in Northern Ireland. i want so much to go here Beechey Island . i love anything about the arctic and the franklin expidition and other arctic expiditions kind regards Jeff

What a haunting place, would love to visit, so fascinated by the Franklin expedition
