In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. This book gives an account of the worst catastrophe in the history of British exploration, and the dark tales of cannibalism that surround the fate of those involved.
