How Did 129 Men Vanish Without a Trace in the Arctic?

129 men. Two ships. No survivors. In 1845, Sir John Franklin sailed into the Arctic aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, determined to conquer the Northwest Passage. Then the entire expedition vanished. For years, search parties found almost nothing. But slowly, a disturbing picture began to emerge — abandoned ships, scattered remains, starvation, disease, and evidence of desperate decisions made at the edge of human survival. More than a century later, modern science and Inuit testimony would finally help reveal what happened to the 129 men who disappeared into the frozen Arctic. This is the extraordinary true story of the Franklin Expedition — one of history’s greatest exploration disasters. #FranklinExpedition #History #Arctic #HMSerebus #HMSTerror #Documentary #VirtusHistory
