129 Men Entered the Arctic. None Came Back.

The Franklin Expedition remains one of the darkest mysteries in Arctic exploration. In 1845, Sir John Franklin and 128 other men sailed into the Arctic aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in search of the Northwest Passage. None of them came back. After becoming trapped in the Arctic ice, the crews eventually abandoned both ships. The surviving men attempted to escape on foot — but the entire Franklin Expedition disappeared. For more than 160 years, explorers, archaeologists and researchers searched for answers. What happened to the Franklin Expedition? Why did the crew abandon HMS Erebus and HMS Terror? And what do Inuit accounts, archaeology, the discovered shipwrecks and modern DNA evidence reveal about the fate of the 129 men? This is the true story of the lost Franklin Expedition.
