"A remarkable piece of forensic deduction."--Margaret Atwood
The internationally-bestselling account of the Franklin's doomed
Arctic expedition, and the thrilling scientific investigation that
spurred the decades-long hunt for its recovery--now with a new afterword
on the discovery of its lost ships: Erebus and Terror.
"Chilling . . . will keep you up nights turning pages."--The Chicago
Tribune
In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his men set out to "penetrate the icy
fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America." And then they
disappeared. The truth about what happened to Franklin's ill-fated
Arctic expedition was shrouded in mystery for more than a century.
Then, in 1984, Owen Beattie and his team exhumed two crew members from a
burial site in the North for forensic evidence, to shocking results. But
the most startling discovery didn't come until 2014, when a team
commissioned by the Canadian government uncovered Erebus, the lost ship.
Frozen in Time is a riveting deep dive into one of the most famous
shipwrecks of all time, and the team of brilliant scientists that
unleashed its secrets from the ice.
