rating: 5 QuoteFranklin's tragic expeditionQuote
Finally, the truth, or as much as we shall ever know, about the tragic fate of the crews of the Erebus and the Terror. Even the names (Erebus is Greek for the Gates of Hell) sound like a precursor to doom.
I have read two books on this expedition and the mistakes that Commander Franklin made himself were enough to undermine their voyage. You need only to compare his leadership to that of the great Antarctic explorer, Shackleton, who faced equally dire conditions, to see why he failed.
NOVA, as always, brings the facts and does it in a fair and impartial way. I recommend this to anyone who has any interest in global exploration, particularly the Arctic and the Antarctic. April 6, 2008
