This is the story of the exploration of the arctic shores at the very north of Canada. It is an epic tale of understated english heroics against the harshest winter conditions. These guys ended up spending 2 months eating moss and fighting their way back through 600 miles of snow and ice. At several points they have to cross icy rivers (with and without a canoe). They had to use the planks and siding of their cabin for firewood while they eat their shoes and animal hides for weeks. There are mysterious disappearances, potantial cannibalism and a killing that makes you wonder who was guilty. The depiction of the Indians is a complete one; he shows how vain and cunning they can be - what would be common prejedices even today - but ultimately how compassionate they are in helping the explorers when they reached their worst conditions. Franklin was the explorer who disappeared on a later journey trying to cross the polar cap by ship and whose ship was depicted locked in ice in the movie National Treasure 2.
The terrain, the survival techniques, the challenge of living in cold conditions, the hunt for food, are facinating. But what really makes this a great, great adventure is the suffering the explorers endure to achieve their goal. There is some element of what we all go through in life in this story.
