À propos de cet audio
This week On Tales we travel back to 1871, to take a journey to the top of the world. Our intrepid hero, Charles Francis Hall has dreams of becoming the first man to stand on the North Pole - but dreams can sometimes go horribly awry. Just what happened to the Polaris Expedition?
This is part one of a two parter (part two will follow after we take a brief intermission for a Halloween special episode.)
