The riddle of the missing expedition. Bitty, Geiger

The death of the expedition of Sir John Franklin is one of the most mysterious pages in the history of the development of the Arctic. Two ships of Her Majesty, equipped with the latest progress, died in white silence. The mysterious disappearance of ships caused one of the longest search operations in history searches was carried out almost continuously from 1848 to this day. The remains of some team members were found on the deserted islands of the Canadian archipelago. These bones were brought to terrible guesses, but still did not give an answer to the main question: why did the brilliantly prepared enterprise suffer such a crushing failure? In 1980, the Canadian judicial anthropologist Owen Bitty and his comrades landed on the island of Beach. They were interested in information that could shed light on the cause of their death health, nutrition, signs of diseases or violence, age and physique. The results of their work, given on the pages of this book, are not just impressive, it seems that they really reveal the secret of the greatest of the missing expeditions.
