And don’t forget the two guys buried on Beechey Island, and, Franklin himself, who died en-route and was buried at sea.

Sorry for all the post folks. I am fascinated by the Arctic Explorers and have read a number of books. I am enthusiastic about it.

I have been obsessed for years with Artic explorers! Why, I wonder? Maybe the horror, the terror, the bravery matched with British courage and nobility and their admiration of amateurism in the classic sense.. Although, of course, I adore Shackelton as well.
