      Die Expedition bricht auf um die Nordküste Kanadas östlich der Mündung des Coppermine Flusses, zu erforschen. Doch drei Jahre später droht das Unternehmen zu scheitern, die Vorräte werden knapp, man fängt an Flechten, Aas und sogar Schuhe zu verspeisen. Am Ende ihrer Reise sind nur noch elf der zwanzig Männer am Leben. Der Expeditionsleiter war kein anderer als John Franklin - der berühmte Arktisforscher, dem von Sten Nadolny in seinem Roman „Die Entdeckung der Langsamkeit“ ein literarisches Denkmal gesetzt wurde.
