Lady Franklin's revenge: a true story of ambition, obsession and the remaking of Arctic history

Trama

When Sir John Franklin disappeared into the Arctic in 1845, it was his adventurous wife, Jane Franklin, who kept the search for him alive and, as a result, contributed more to the discovery and mapping of the North than any explorer.
