NOVA dramatizes two extraordinary sagas in the quest for the Northwest Passage, the legendary Arctic sea route between the Atlantic and the Pacific that was the prize objective of merchants and adventures for centuries.<\/p>\n
Prisoners of the Ice<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
In 1845, two Royal Navy ships and 129 men led by Sir John Franklin set sail from London on an elaborately prepared expedition to conquer the elusive Arctic route, and were never heard from again. Poignant clues suggest the expedition became icebound, short of food, and that the stronger members resorted to murder and cannibalism. Or did their own provisions poison them? Now, 150 years later, a team of historians and forensic scientists journey to a bleak wilderness on a quest or the truth behind the Franklin mystery.<\/p>\n
Ice Survivors<\/b><\/p>\n
Following Sir Franklin, over a half-century would pass before an innovative explorer finally conquered the Northwest Passage. Unsupported by naval might or government funding, a 29-year old Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, set out with improbably slim resources: just six men and a tiny shallow vessel, the Gj\u00f8a, <\/i>which he figured could slip through channels that endangered larger ships. Caught by the winter ice. Amundsen did what the earlier Franklin\u00b4s crew had been unable or unwilling to do; he turned to the native Inuit to learn their ancient skills of Arctic survival. The secrets they taught him \u2013 seal hunting, building igloos, and handling dog teams \u2013 not only ensured the success of his voyage, but paved the way for his conquest of the South Pole in 192. NOVA retraces Amundsen\u00b4s triumphant, epic voyage, taking viewers to the Canadian Arctic where his name is still legendary among the native people.<\/p>\n
