Download Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition AudioBook Free
Ice Ghosts weaves together the epic account of the Lost Franklin Expedition of 1845 - whose two boats and crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice - with the present day tale of the researchers, divers, and local Inuit behind the outstanding finding of the flagship's wreck in 2014. Paul Watson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was on the icebreaker that led the finding expedition, instructs a fast-paced historical experience account: Sir John Franklin and the crew of the HMS Erebus and Terror setting off searching for the fabled Northwest Passage, the hazards they encountered, the reason why they were compelled to abandon dispatch hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of Western civilization, and the decades of looking that resulted in only rumors of cannibalism and a few scattered documents and bone fragments - until a blend of trust in Inuit lore and the latest knowledge yielded a finding for the ages.
