Trapped in Icy Waters Podcast Had Me Searching for More

“Listening to this podcast about Mark Synnott’s tracing of the Franklin Expedition was captivating. Learning of the challenges that Mark and his crew experienced in Pasley Bay when their sail boat Polar Sun was trapped by the sea ice seemed to be recreating the helplessness experienced by Sir John Franklin’s doomed voyage instead of following a route taken long ago. This is what made the podcast so interesting to me. After the podcast I watched the special on Disney to gain a better idea of the journey. Then, I read the article in the August 2023 edition of the National Geographic magazine. Although I had the magazine I had not taken an interest in the article until I heard the podcast. Needless to say, I will be purchasing Mark’s book describing his journey when it comes out. In regards to the flight that John Gross made some years back when he saw the rock structures that are presumably the resting place of Sir John Franklin, I have looked at Google Earth images of the area in the hopes of spotting something myself. After looking at the images for a while I can see why it is so difficult to distinguish one area from another as the topography looks the same. Imagining myself in the plane with John that day years ago, I could see myself tossing out weighted orange streamers to mark the site vice relying on GPS coordinates that may or may not be accurate. Placing visible markers on the ground could help locate the site years afterwards and be seen in different types of weather conditions. This is the magic of National Geographic - telling a story in such a manner that you are right there with Jacob, Tom, and Mark trekking over rough terrain on a quest to solve a great mystery. Thank you.”
