Mark Synnott and his team explore the Whale Fish Islands and then sail onwards into Baffin Bay. In 1845, Sir John Franklin set off from England with two ships and 129 men to be the first to navigate the Northwest Passage, a new trade route over the top of the world, when Franklin’s ships vanished without a trace.
