On 19 May 1845, Sir John Franklin set off on HMS Terror and HMS Erebus to locate the Northwest Passage, a route from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the Canadian Arctic. None of the expedition’s 129 men returned and the story is one of the great mysteries of Arctic exploration. Its provoked endless debate, and it’s this debate (as well as a solo attempt to solve the mystery) that is the subject of Ernest C Coleman’s No Earthly Pole.
