In December 2018, Death in the Ice, an exhibition about the Franklin Expedition opened at the Mystic Seaport Museum. It featured artifacts raised from the underwater wreck of HMS Terror. Russell Potter discusses this and new developments in the search for answers about the Franklin Expedition — a British mission to find the Northwest Passage — that disappeared in 1845 without a trace. Potter is professor of English and Media studies at Rhode Island College. He is a lead consultant of “Death in the Ice” and the author of Finding Franklin: The Untold Story of a 165-Year Search.

Fascinating interview. Had the great good fortune to meet Russell on a Artic expedition in 2018, and Michael Palin too. A very knowledgeable and generous man.
