In the late 19th century, two very different expeditions set out in search of a northwest passage through the Canadian Arctic: while the 1845 British expedition led by Sir John Franklin succumbed to starvation and tragedy, Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition succeeded by adopting native Inuit customs. This episode of PBS's NOVA series explores the contrasting fates of the two teams through archival material, voiceover narration, and interviews with scholars and historians.
