Description
The Passage by Angus Wardlaw is a gripping account of the ill-fated John Franklin Expedition. In 1845, the Royal Navy launched its most advanced Arctic expedition in search of the Northwest Passage, a route that could bring significant wealth to the British Empire. However, nature proved cruel, and the ships' crews faced extreme challenges as they struggled to survive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. With temperatures plummeting and hope dwindling, the leader was forced to abandon ship with his crew and embark on a perilous 500-mile death march across the High Arctic. This is the true story of the bravery and brotherhood of the 129 men who fought to survive in one of history's most unforgiving landscapes.
