I've always been intrigued by the Franklin Expedition tragedy.

Last Feb I was working at National Training Center at Fort Irwin, CA. In the PX I found a copy of The Terror which is a long fictional book about what might have happened. It is fabricated horror/fiction but you'll sleep with a light on! A great read.

More crew remains were found on King William Island in the early 1990s. (Not the same island where the three frozen guys were exhumed).

It appears that a good portion of the dying occurred at a place now called Erebus Bay. A web search should turn up a forensic report on the cannibalized bones found in this area.

There is a well known story of a group of Inuit who got on board one of the ships after it was deserted.

Me too. I'm a sucker for a cold mystery or a good climb... I don't climb myself, but I'm a damned good armchair quarterback... ;-) ...
