NOVA "Arctic Passage: Prisoners of the Ice/Ice Survivors" 01:56 #3306W PBS (DVS)
Prisoners of the Ice: 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. Clues suggest the expedition became icebound, experiencing a shortage of food, and that some members resorted to cannibalism. Or their own provisions may have poisoned them. Historians and forensic scientists journey to a bleak wilderness on a quest for truth. Ice Survivors: More than a half-century would pass before an innovative explorer finally conquered the Northwest Passage. A 29-year-old Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, set out with six men and a tiny, shallow vessel, the Gjoa, which he presumed could slip through channels endangering larger ships. Amundsen turned to the Inuit to learn about seal hunting, building igloos, and handling dog teams. Amundsen's 1912 triumphant voyage to the South Pole is retraced through the Canadian Arctic, where his name is legendary among native people. [TVPG] R on 3/1 8pm; 3/5 3am
