[00:00:00]Did you know that 129 British sailors disappeared into the Arctic and turned to cannibalism to survive? In 1845, Sir John Franklin led the most advanced expedition ever launched. Two ships, the Terror and Erebus, steam-powered, packed with three years of supplies. Their mission, find the Northwest Passage through the [music] frozen Arctic. They vanished without a trace. For over a century, searchers found nothing, just silence. Then the Inuit started talking.

[00:00:28]They told stories of starving white men dragging sleds across the ice, eating the dead. Nobody believed them, but the bones don't lie. When archaeologists finally found the crew, they discovered something horrifying. Cut marks on human bones, systematic butchering. The sailors had eaten their own officers.

[00:00:47]These weren't desperate men taking a bite to survive. This was methodical, calculated. They stripped the flesh from their commanders like livestock. The same men who represented the height of Victorian civilization had become cannibals in the Arctic wasteland.

[00:01:01]Franklin's expedition wasn't a heroic failure. It was 129 men slowly consuming each other in the endless white.
