À propos de cet audio

In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his men set out to "penetrate the icy fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America." And then they disappeared. The truth about what happened to Franklin's ill-fated Arctic expedition was shrouded in mystery for more than a century. Then, in 1984, Owen Beattie and his team exhumed two crew members from a burial site in the North for forensic evidence, to shocking results. But the most startling discovery didn't come until 2014, when a team commissioned by the Canadian government uncovered one of the lost ships: Erebus.

This is an intriguing story.
The narration was excellent.
Some of the most ambitious human endeavours have been bested by some small detail from years earlier.

Fascinating

The Franklin Expedition was a a brutal story of brave men, bad luck, and rushed planning and logistics. A story of hardship, death and desperate attempts to survive. As told here, other than lacking many known facts, is the extremely over-the-top, jovial treatment of the subject by the performer. Sorry, not for me. I couldn't finish the listen.

So Disappointing

I’m fascinated by the determination of these expeditions of the past. Wether be for glory of king and country, ones large ego or pure explorers curiosity, these sailors and their captains are a rare breed and hard to find in such times today.
I enjoyed this book about the pain staking process of trying to piece together the past and at much suffering of their own in doing so. Ships and men lost for over 150 years, yet their voices still echo in the blistering wind of the North

Unbelievable suffering by so many

I loved the story, the pace was excellent and I very much enjoyed the narration!

A terrific read.

Enjoyed the setting as described by Beattie and the application to the mid 19th century arctic explorers who had to do it without 20th century knowledge and technology.

Going a long way to solving the mystery of the Franklin Expedition
