Wreck of the Franklin Expedition's H.M.S. Terror discovered

[Aardvark154]

Searchers from the Arctic Research Foundation, have located the wreck of H.M.S. Terror in the ironically named Terror Bay on the southwest shore of King William Island. This is two years and a day after the wreck of the Franklin Expedition's other ship H.M.S. Erebus was located slightly further to the south in the Queen Maud Gulf.

This find is of great historical importance, not only to the history of Canada, but of Britain as well.

With global warming, the Northwest Passage will soon be ice free year round.

Parks Canada has not officially given their conformation, however, the Arctic Research Foundation are not some tourists in a Zodiac. Personally I have no doubt that it is what they say it is.
