In 1847, Sir John Franklin and a crew of 128 men disappeared without a trace while searching for the Northwest Passage. 175 years later, a team of National Geographic explorers traveled to the Arctic to find evidence of their fate.
In 1847, Sir John Franklin and a crew of 128 men disappeared without a trace while searching for the Northwest Passage, a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Explorer Mark Synnott and Nat Geo photographer and filmmaker Renan Ozturk navigated their way through a maze of potentially deadly sea ice in the Northwest Passage looking for answers."Our goal was to kind of recreate what Franklin went through," said Ozturk to Eyewitness News. "They found the ships recently, but they never found the captain of his capers. So, we thought what better way to do this and solve a mystery is to put ourselves in the same position.
"We got stuck in the ice for over ten days," the filmmaker recalls. "We almost suffered the same fate."
