In 1845 Sir John Franklin and his crew, in the stout ships Erebus<\/I> and Terror<\/I>, fortified against ice and provisioned for a three years’ journey, set off into the Arctic in an attempt to be the first to sail the North West Passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. They were never seen again.
\nTwelve years later 14-year-old Peter Griffin joins the crew of the tiny steam yacht Fox<\/I> on an expedition to discover their fate. Peter resolutely endures the close quarters on board ship, the cold and the dark, and the dangers of the forbidding Arctic landscape. As they travel further and further from home they find strange fragments, traces of men who have travelled before them. Soon they make discoveries that suggest the terrible fate suffered by Franklin and his men.
\nBased on historical accounts, Mystery in the Frozen Lands<\/I> offers one boy’s perspective of one the greatest of all Canadian disasters.<\/p>\n
