What happened to the Franklin Expedition?
Added 2018-01-12 18:46:10 +0000 UTCThis video is far from a "behind the scenes of the funeral industry," where my channel started, but I'm so happy you all are willing to go down these morbid rabbit holes with me!
My favorite nonfiction reading (favorite reading period, really) has always been the man faces death (and often loses) in extreme conditions. That's why I love Everest, the Amazon, the open sea, and now, the Arctic. There's something about facing death head on, the ego you need, the desire to conquer, and how some triumph and some are pitifully punished.
Today we're exploring the 129 members of the Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage. They all died, but most people believe they didn't have to. They had food, they had water. WHAT HAPPENED?
