Frozen In Time: The Fate Of The Franklin Expedition: This substantially revised edition of the international bestseller Frozen in Time tells the dramatic story of how Sir John Franklin's elite naval forces came within sight of the Northwest Passage, only to succumb to unimaginable horrors. A gripping tale of cannibalism, bureaucratic hubris, great courage and groundbreaking science, it shows how the excavation of three sailors from the 1845-48 Franklin expedition buried for 138 years on the lonely Arctic headland of Beechey Island, had shed new light on what has been one of the world's great maritime mysteries. This authoritative edition builds on anthropologist Owen Beattie's hypothesis that tinned foods caused the deaths of many men by lead poisoning and scurvy – in both Franklin's and other Arctic expeditions of the era.
