“Northwest Passage – On Franklin´s Trial”

Adventure (), John Murray 69 min

A spectacular journey through the Arctic, as an Irish expedition shadows one of the most tragic stories in polar history. 150 years ago, the most famous arctic explorer in the world sailed his ships into the ice clogged seas of Arctic Canada to find a Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific and vanished without trace. In 2001, a group of Irish adventurers, inspired by the extraordinary drama of Franklin´s lost expedition, set sail to follow in his trail into the Arctic and attempt to sail through the Northwest Passage, one of the last truly challenging voyages left on Earth.
