London, 1848. Three years have passed since Sir John Franklin and 128 officers and men sailed into the Arctic, in search of the Northwest Passage. No letters, no survivors, no ships.
What nobody yet realises is that Franklin's men may already be dead, buried across a frozen landscape thousands of miles away.
In the first of this two-part episode, we uncover the 180-year-old mystery of Franklin's ill-fated expedition. A mystery that has become one of the biggest cold cases - literally - in exploration history.
