New DNA analysis identifies more members of the ill-fated Franklin expedition
The 1845 Franklin Northwest Passage expedition was an unprecedented disaster in the history of British polar exploration, with the loss of all 129 officers and crew and the discovery ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. The catastrophe has been the subject of novels, films and television series, as well as active research across several disciplines.
The British government offered a £20,000 reward for information on the missing Franklin Expedition.
