Visiting Beechey Island, one day after the anniversary. 🕯️
This is where the story really began. Three graves cut into the permafrost. The first winter camp. The last place Franklin’s men were seen together before Peel Sound swallowed them whole.
Standing here, it’s hard not to feel the weight of it all. How much searching it took, how many decades between then and now, and how much Inuit knowledge finally led searchers to both wrecks. ⚓️
