At the behest of an aging John Barrow, Sir John Franklin once again returns to the Canadian Archipelago to finally sail the mythic northwest passage. On this episode of Grisly History, we explore the background of what would become Franklin's last expedition, and what would eventually become one of the greatest mysteries of the North.
Ends of the Earth explores the increasingly vain efforts taken by those hoping to conquer the earth's poles. This multi-part series follows those who faced unbearable weather conditions, violent seas, and the least hospitable lands imaginable.
