Beluga Whales & Frozen Sailor Mummies (OLD VIDEO, sorry low rez)

From my expedition blog - http://bushpilotdhc.blogspot.com

This is a short old video taken during one of my high-arctic expeditions to King William Island in Nunavut (Canada), in search of the doomed missing ships and crew from the famed Franklin Expedition of 1845.

Here I come upon a location where 12 of the Franklin sailors gave up and starved to death in and around their lifeboat, which they had dragged in vain up to 50 miles back and forth, hoping to find the Back Great Fish River in hopes to row to salvation in Yellowknife. They never made it.

And here they cannibalized each other until only one man was left, whose clothed skeleton was found as when he died; still sitting in the corner of the lifeboat, with shotgun frozen in each arm, still locked and loaded.
