Book
Ice ghosts : the epic hunt for the lost Franklin expedition / Paul Watson.
Spanning nearly 200 years, this book weaves together an account of the legendary Franklin Expedition of 1845--whose two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, and their crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice--with the modern tale of the scientists, researchers, divers, and local Inuit behind the recent discoveries of the two ships, which made news around the world. -- Adapted from jacket.
