more than 100 expeditions

have gone to the Arctic to try
to figure out what happened.

It's taken us 2,200 miles of
sailing from Maine just to get
186
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,587
to the beginning
of this journey.
187
00:12:42,887 --> 00:12:45,306
This is where Franklin set off
188
00:12:45,389 --> 00:12:48,017
for the Northwest Passage
189
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,562
in 1845.
190
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,198
This was a town.
191
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:05,659
Some kind of a
whaling station.
192
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:08,913
Totally abandoned now.
193
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:13,959

194
00:13:14,043 --> 00:13:16,378
This is what I've been
looking for right here.
195
00:13:16,504 --> 00:13:18,464
An iron bollard in the shore,
196
00:13:18,547 --> 00:13:21,842
where Franklin tied
up their ships.
197
00:13:22,259 --> 00:13:25,971
And this was the last anchorage
for the Franklin expedition
198
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:29,683
before they set off into
the Northwest Passage.
199
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:34,730
At that time, sailing over the
top of the world wouldn't have
200
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:38,651
been too different from the
idea of going to the moon.
201
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:43,989
You know, in terms of the
history of exploration,
202
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:46,033
there's nothing more epic.
203
00:13:46,116 --> 00:13:47,952
You know, almost like a
Knights of the Round table
204
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:51,413
kind of thing to try to
make it through there.
205
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:56,043
It's wild to realize that
Franklin and his men were
206
00:13:56,126 --> 00:13:59,922
walking all around here and
preparing for their voyage
207
00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:03,425
into the Northwest Passage.
208
00:14:06,595 --> 00:14:10,641
From here, the
ice gauntlet begins.
209
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:22,736
We just sailed
into a fog bank.
210
00:14:23,445 --> 00:14:25,781
This is really really thick.
211
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:29,076
So I can see about a boat
length and the water is
212
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:31,787
filled with chunks of ice.
213
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:35,624
The radar shows the big stuff,
it shows the bergs,
214
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:38,377
but it doesn't show
the small stuff.
215
00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:40,045
It doesn't show the growlers,
216
00:14:40,254 --> 00:14:43,674
and the growlers could
tear the boat in half.
217
00:14:45,634 --> 00:14:49,346
Crossing the maze of ice bergs
in Baffin Bay was the first
218
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:52,892
real test Franklin and his
men faced on their voyage

00:14:52,975 --> 00:14:55,895
into the unknown.
220
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:58,814

sobering way, what it must
514
00:33:27,296 --> 00:33:31,300
have been like for Franklin
and his men to be out here,
515
00:33:31,384 --> 00:33:34,345
because you're in
the middle of nowhere.
516
00:33:36,139 --> 00:33:39,392
Over the years, human remains
from the Franklin expedition
517
00:33:39,475 --> 00:33:43,062
have been discovered
across King William Island.
518
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:48,776
In 1854, an Inuit hunter
reported finding the bones of
519
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:53,990
30 men piled together, some
with signs of cannibalism.
520
00:33:57,035 --> 00:34:00,038
JIMMY: I really believe that,
you know, if Franklin and
521
00:34:00,121 --> 00:34:04,876
his men had help from the Inuit
people around this area,
522
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:08,755
with their traditional clothing,
and with the hunting,
523
00:34:08,838 --> 00:34:11,924
and the skills that they had,
524
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:15,595
I think they would've made it
through the Northwest Passage.
525
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:19,807
I always thought that Franklin
himself didn't want any
526
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:24,729
assistance, cause I really
believe that he wanted to do it
527
00:34:24,812 --> 00:34:29,067
on his own without the
help of the Inuit people.
528
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:33,780
Their nomadic life would
have shown them that yes,
529
00:34:33,863 --> 00:34:38,826
these areas are
safe to travel by.
530
00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:49,545
TOM: This is it.
MARK: Wow.
531
00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:51,089
TOM: Boot camp.
532
00:34:51,172 --> 00:34:55,635
This is Collinson River,
and Collinson Inlet.
533
00:34:55,718 --> 00:34:57,845
MARK: Wow.
TOM: We made it.
534
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:00,890
MARK: Really cool.
535
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:05,478
Tom targeted Collinson Inlet
based on Inuit testimony
536
00:35:05,561 --> 00:35:09,398
about a Franklin
campsite in this area.
537
00:35:09,857 --> 00:35:12,485
TOM: The first winter
when they arrived,
538
00:35:12,568 --> 00:35:14,737
I think that they ended
up down in here.
539
00:35:15,154 --> 00:35:18,908
So hopefully, what we can do
is prove that they did and
540
00:35:18,991 --> 00:35:21,494
that we'll find a camp
out here somewhere,
541
00:35:21,577 --> 00:35:25,331
and if that's correct, we should
be able to find the tomb of
542
00:35:25,414 --> 00:35:28,501
Sir John Franklin in
this area as well.
543
00:35:28,584 --> 00:35:30,753
MARK: Wow.

00:35:38,845 --> 00:35:40,429

JACOB: Let the day
have good weather.
546
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:50,314
RENAN: We're about to
launch the fixed wing drone.
547
00:35:50,398 --> 00:35:55,027
This has been a long term dream
to get this thing in the air.
548
00:35:55,486 --> 00:35:59,157
They use these drones to,
to map the tundra,
549
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:02,201
to look at changes in the
climate, but we're using it
550
00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:06,122
to map a high resolution area
to try to find the tomb.
551
00:36:06,205 --> 00:36:07,874
RUDY: Look at that, shows
the airplane on the map.
552
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,167
We've got greens.
553
00:36:09,292 --> 00:36:11,127
RENAN: Yeah!
554
00:36:11,294 --> 00:36:12,461

TOM: This area right here.
556
00:36:13,671 --> 00:36:15,047
This is what I want to see.

around there, right?

00:36:16,507 --> 00:36:18,801
TOM: Yeah.
559

up in the air and let's get

drone is in you in the plane,

seven years ago.

it was for you that day,

back in 2015.

Let's try it.

MARK: We're going to very
carefully document this ridge,
566
00:36:41,532 --> 00:36:44,285

like trying to find a
567
00:36:44,368 --> 00:36:46,746
needle in a haystack.
568
00:36:46,829 --> 00:36:48,873
If Rudy wasn't here,
do you think you could
569
00:36:48,956 --> 00:36:50,541
get this all set up?
570
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:51,792
TOM: No.

I couldn't even
open up the computer.

create sort of a grid over

what you want to search, and
then the plane just shoots
575

sequential photographs

at 600 feet now.

You just direct
me where to go.

Can you go right to there?

Want me to go down into it?

Go right down into.

There's an island.

looking right at that.

you download the imagery,

There were some items there that

rod and the tent peg.
641

It could have been a camp at
one time from the expedition.

this is the area.

I think that hill over there,
you know, it's just,

it's just the lighting,
throws things off.

There's one more hill up
here that I've marked,

For me, like until I find
that stone thing that I saw,

be able to rest.
