AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “CHILLING … WILL KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT TURNING PAGES.”—The Chicago Tribune

This “remarkable piece of forensic deduction” (MARGARET ATWOOD) “captures the excitement and peril of the explorers’ harrowing journey” aboard the HMS Erebus, and offers “a compelling explanation of what might have transpired over their final weeks and days (including, in a final act of desperation, cannibalism). It’s a serious historical work, but also a riveting account of a truly extraordinary expedition." (THE NEW YORK TIMES)


In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his men set out to “penetrate the icy fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America.” And then they disappeared. The truth about what happened to Franklin’s ill-fated Arctic expedition was shrouded in mystery for more than a century.

Then, in 1984, Owen Beattie and his team exhumed two crew members from a burial site in the North for forensic evidence, to shocking results. But the most startling discovery didn’t come until 2014, when a team commissioned by the Canadian government uncovered Erebus, the lost ship.

Frozen in Time is a riveting deep dive into one of the most famous shipwrecks of all time, and the team of brilliant scientists that unleashed its secrets from the ice. It offers a thrilling account of Franklin’s doomed Arctic expedition, and the scientific investigation that spurred the decades-long hunt for its recovery—now with a new afterword on the discovery of its lost ships: Erebus and Terror.
