Abstract
... On 22 April 1848, the Erebus and Terror were abandoned and Captains Francis Crozier and James Fitzjames led the survivors down the west coast of King William Island in a desperate bid to reach the North American mainland. The rest is tragic history. Crozier's failure, if indeed the failure is his, must be understood in the light of his past successes: because he was not inexperienced in polar matters, the reasons for the Franklin tragedy are even more mysterious and perplexing. [This profile describes Crozier's expedition's to the Arctic and Antarctic with James Ross, his successes and tragic failures.]
