The Arctic Expedition That Ate Itself

The Arctic was meant to be their greatest achievement. It became their graveyard. In 1881, Lt. Adolphus Greely led 24 men into the High Arctic on a mission of science and exploration. They were among the best-equipped explorers of their age — until their relief ship, the Proteus, was crushed by ice and lost in Smith Sound. With no food and no hope of rescue, the men of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition were forced to make an impossible choice: die with dignity, or do the unthinkable to stay alive. As they waited through the polar night, they survived on candle wax, shoe leather — and eventually, each other. In this video, we trace the expedition’s final days, the loss of the Proteus, and the chilling evidence uncovered by the Cape Sabine autopsies.
