Ice Ghosts by Paul Watson


  • After watching The Terror on AMC, I wanted to know more about what is known about the Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest passage.
  • Having loved the TV series I wanted to know what was based in evidence and what was artistic license used by the creators of the series.  This book provided a solid answer.
  • While the introduction covers the bulk of the actual Franklin Expedition, the main part of the book addresses the many rescue and fact finding missions sent after the Franklin Expedition.
  • This is an enjoyable book that focuses on the human instincts to explore the unknown, and then to find answers to an unexplained disappearance.
