120+ Men Were Trapped In Ice For Years - The Horrifying Events of FRANLKIN'S LOST EXPEDITION

This is a historic look at Franklin's Lost Expedition. Some brief clips used in this video are from AMC's Show THE TERROR - a highly recommended supernatural horror program that tells the tale of Franklin's Lost Expedition. I do not own this footage.

The Terror, is a TV show based on Dan Simmons’ novel of the same name. The story is based on the infamous real life tale of the Franklin Expedition that departed from England in 1845 and which, eventually, resulted in the disappearance of the 129 men who went on it. The novel and TV show both feature cannibalism, a monstrous polar bear, and take some artistic license with the original true story. But, just how much of what the book and program portrays is true?

After setting out to traverse the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic, a naval shortcut that would link up the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in one fell swoop, the Franklin Expedition saw both ships involved – HMS Terror and HMS Erebrus – get stuck in the polar ice.

In April 1848, after the expedition’s leader Captain Sir John Franklin and almost two dozen men had died, the survivors led by Francis Crozier and James Fitzjames abandoned their ships and set out for the Canadian mainland. They were never seen again.
