Lost Explorers of Arctic Canada - Waterloo Lectures

[Brandi Gillett]

Lost Explorers of Arctic Canada
Robert W. Park | November 21, 2012
The challenge of mapping the Canadian Arctic fascinated European explorers for centuries. Much of what most people know about the Arctic has been shaped by the tragic deaths of a few of those explorers, most famously all the member of Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition. This presentation will discuss the history of European explorations of the Canadian Arctic and describe what recent archaeological research has revealed about the lives and deaths of these explorers, along with what still remains to be learned.
