(戏剧性的音乐) (dramatic music)
-今晚，一次历史性的远征启航 - Tonight, a historic expedition sets sail
进入冰封的迷宫 into a labyrinth of ice.
毫无疑问，这是最好的计划 - [John] This is, without a doubt, the best planned
也是装备最好的探险队 and best equipped expedition ever to try
寻找西北航道 to find the Northwest Passage.
-大量补给，技术先进的舰船 - Lots of provisions, technically advanced ships,
一切都消失了。 and it all just vanishes.
-他的失踪引发了一场搜索 - That disappearance sparks a search
寻找跨越近两个世纪的线索。 for clues spanning nearly two centuries.
对英国人来说，这是不可想象的 - For the British, it was unthinkable
这两艘勘探船可能会失踪。 these two exploration ships could be lost.
-纯粹是运气 - It's just pure luck
有足够多的因纽特目击者 that there were enough Inuit eyewitnesses
甚至拼凑出一个大致的概念 to even piece together a rough idea of
这些可怜的人怎么了？ what happened to these poor men.
-现在，我们将调查最热门的理论 - Now, we'll investigate the top theories
围绕着这个传奇的失踪。 surrounding this legendary disappearance.
-船员弃船前发生了一些事。 - Something happened before the crews abandoned those ships.
-没人愿意相信皇家海军的人 - Nobody wants to believe men of the Royal Navy
会求助于同类相食。 would resort to cannibalism.
-如果人们相信船被诅咒了 - If the men believe the ships were cursed
决定离开， and decided to leave,
他们的命运已经注定了。 their fates are already sealed.
——到底发生了什么？ - What really happened
富兰克林探险队的人？ to the men of the Franklin Expedition?
(戏剧性的音乐) (dramatic music)
——1845年春天的一个早晨， - [Laurence] On a spring morning in 1845,
两艘英国皇家海军舰艇 two British Royal Navy ships,
恐怖号和阿拉伯号 the HMS Terror and the HMS Arabis,
在约翰·富兰克林爵士的指挥下离开英国。 depart England under the command of Sir John Franklin.
他们的探索，难以捉摸的西北航道。 Their quest, the elusive Northwest Passage.
当时从英国出发的船只， - At this time for ships traveling from England,
为了去亚洲，你只有两个选择。 in order to get to Asia, you have really just two options.
你可以绕着南美洲的一角旅行 You can either travel around the tip of South America
然后进入太平洋 and up into the Pacific Ocean,
或者你可以沿着南非的尖端旅行 or you can travel down the tip of South Africa
然后一直到印度洋 and then work your way up to the Indian Ocean.
-都需要很长时间。 - They both take a really long time.
据推测，一定有什么海上航线 It was speculated there had to be some sea route
船只可以借此绕过格陵兰岛 by which ships could travel up around Greenland
然后越过大西洋 and then across from the Atlantic
一直到太平洋 all the way to the Pacific.
对西北航道的探索是巨大的 - The quest for a Northwest Passage is huge
因为这会大大缩短旅行时间。 because it would cut travel time down considerably.
英国人所做的就是不断派出远征队。 What the British do is they send out continual expeditions.
-从西部到中部 - From the west, they've come almost to the middle,
他们从东边几乎来到了中部 and from the east they've come almost to the middle,
就在这中间，大概300海里 and it's that little middle, maybe 300 nautical miles
这在地图上还是一片空白。 that's a blank on the map still.
所有其他路线都是已知的， All the other routes were known,
如果你能穿过中间的部分， so if you could get through that middle part,
你会到达另一边。 you would get to the other side.
-最大的问题当然是每年都会结冰。 - The big problem of course, is it freezes every year.
航运将陷入停顿， Shipping is gonna come to a standstill,
所以一年只有几个月 so there were only certain months of the year
可以传播的地方。 where it could be traveled.
-[劳伦斯]到1845年，探险家们绘制了地图 - [Laurence] By 1845, explorers have charted
受够了加拿大的北极 enough of the Canadian Arctic
让皇家海军充满信心 to make the Royal Navy confident
西北航道终于触手可及 that the Northwest Passage is finally within reach.
为了完成最后一击 To complete the final push,
英国海军部选出了59岁的船长 the British Admiralty selects 59-year-old captain,
约翰·富兰克林爵士，带领探险队。 Sir John Franklin, to lead the Expedition.
他不是他们的首选。 He isn't their first choice.
英国海军部已经接近一个数字 - The British admiralty had approached a number
著名的北极探险家威廉·帕里爵士 of known Arctic explorers, Sir William Parry.
那时他太老了，他拒绝了。 He was too old by that time, he declined.
罗斯夫妇还参与了其他探险， The Rosses were involved with other expeditions,
所以他们实际上考虑过推迟， so they actually considered delaying,
但在最后一刻 but at the last moment,
在简·富兰克林夫人的压力下 under pressure from Lady Jane Franklin,
约翰爵士被选中了。 Sir John was chosen.
首先，约翰·富兰克林有点老了。 - [John] John Franklin, for one thing, was kind of old.
他当时59岁， He was 59 years old,
这对皇家海军军官来说已经很了不起了。 which for a Royal Navy officer is pretty up there.
尽管他曾经领导过两次远征， And although he had led two former expeditions,
他们并不是特别成功。 they weren't particularly successful.
事实上，在他的第一次航行中，一半的船员都死了。 In fact, in his first one, half of his crew had died.
他们的食物吃光了，只好吃靴子。 They ran out of food and they were reduced to eating boots.
尽管他年纪大了，尽管他没有指挥过 Despite his age, and despite the fact he hadn't commanded
一艘船在某些年， a ship in some years,
我想他是想赎罪 I imagine he wanted to redeem himself
在他之前的失败之后。 after his prior failures.
-[劳伦斯]为了帮助富兰克林的北极任务， - [Laurence] To help in Franklin's Arctic mission,
英国海军部不遗余力 the British Admiralty spare no expense,
从他要乘坐的两艘船开始。 starting with the two ships he'll set off in.
恐怖号和阿拉伯号。 The HMS Terror and the HMS Arabis.
-目前，阿拉伯号和恐怖号是最好的船 - For the day, the Arabis and Terror are the best ships
英国海军可以用它进行海上勘探。 that the British Navy could use for maritime exploration.
它们是改装过的炸弹船， They're converted bomb ships,
也就是说它们很重，很结实。 which means they're heavy, they're robust.
它们是专门为这次远征而改装的。 They were refitted especially for this expedition.
-它们都有铁加固的船体 - They both had iron reinforced hulls to withstand
并且能够在冰面上移动。 and be able to maneuver through ice.
一项新的技术进步 One new technological advancement that they
还有一个螺旋桨， also had was a propeller,
它可以根据需要上下移动。 which could actually maneuver up and down as needed.
-它们非常非常大。 - They were very, very big.
他们有强大的引擎。 They had powerful engines.
它们很适合运载大量的重货物。 They were good for carrying a whole lot of heavy cargo.
-成千上万的罐头食品， - Thousands of cans of food,
成千上万桶的腌制蔬菜， thousands of barrels of pickled, preserved vegetables,
面粉将被制成面包。 flour to be made into bread.
我们希望整个旅程能持续下去 - [John] It is hope that the whole trip will take
也许一年左右，也许更久一点。 maybe about a year, maybe a little more.
尽管如此，这艘船还是能运载 Nevertheless, the ship can carry
三年的供给 three years worth of provisions
这三年可以延长到五年 and those three years can be stretched out to five years
通过定量配给。 through rationing.
这是迄今为止最好的计划 This is by far the best planned
装备精良的探险队 and best supplied expedition
试图找到西北航道 ever to try to find the Northwest Passage.
士气低落，根据全体船员的报告 The morale, according to all reports among the crew
而军官们，更是望尘莫及。 and the officers, is extremely high.
他们认为这就是航行 They think this is the voyage
去寻找西北航道 that's going to find the Northwest Passage.
-[劳伦斯]探险队开了个好头， - [Laurence] The expedition gets off to a good start,
七月中旬到达格陵兰岛 reaching Greenland by mid-July.
——水手和军官寄回家的信 - The letters that the sailors and officers send home
充满了自信的预测 are full of confident predictions
这是一个巨大的成功。 about this being a huge success.
1845年7月， In July 1845,
巴芬湾的一群捕鲸船 a group of whaling vessels in Baffin Bay
看看阿拉伯号和恐怖号 spot the HMS Arabis and the HMS Terror
向西驶向兰开斯特海峡。 heading west toward Lancaster sound.
——皇家海军为约翰·富兰克林爵士制定了一个计划 - The Royal Navy had set a plan for Sir John Franklin
和他的船员在兰开斯特海峡航行 and his crew to navigate through Lancaster Sound
进入群岛 into the archipelago
找一个安静的地方让他们可以 and find a calm area where they can be able
为了过冬， to shelter down during the winter,
因为他们已经预料到他们要去了 'cause they're already anticipating that they're going
被困在海冰中很长一段时间。 to be trapped in sea ice for quite some time.
-一旦那年春天冰雪融化， - Once the ice melts that spring,
他们应该继续他们的航行， they're supposed to continue on their voyage,
通过这个群岛。 maneuver through this archipelago of islands.
它们是用来传递信息的 They're supposed to send a message
等他们打通了，但没有信来， as soon as they get through, but no letter comes,
没有船只在太平洋报告 no ships in the Pacific report
见过阿拉伯人和恐怖。 ever having seen the Arabis and the Terror.
(紧张的音乐) (tense music)
- 1845次，1846次，1847次。 - 1845 passes, 1846 passes, 1847 passes.
富兰克林的妻子简·富兰克林很担心。 Jane Franklin, Franklin's wife is concerned.
-所以她和英国议会 - So both her and the British Parliament,
他们正在向英国海军部施加压力 they are putting pressure on the British admiralty
做点什么。 to do something.
从英国海军部的角度来看 From the British Admiralty's perspective,
他们不想说有什么问题 they don't want to say anything about there being a problem
这次探险， with this expedition,
所以他们真的会尽可能地等下去。 so they're really gonna wait as long as they can.
到1848年，英国海军部承受了足够的压力 By 1848, there's enough pressure on the British admiralty
他们悬赏两万英镑。 that they issue a reward of 20,000 pounds.
按照今天的标准，这相当于200万美元。 By today's standards, that's $2 million.
——三年后，1848年 - [Laurence] 1848, three years after
探险队启航了， the expedition set sail,
海军部派出了第一批搜救队 the admiralty launches the first of a number of search parties
在陆上和海上旅行。 traveling both overland and by sea.
在两年内， Within two years,
其他许多人也加入了搜寻行列。 many others have joined the search.
1850年，在一个小岛上发现了第一条重要线索 In 1850, the first major clue is found on a tiny island
刚过兰开斯特海湾。 just past Lancaster Sound.
在比奇岛，他们找到了第一个营地 - At Beechey Island, they find the first camp
它们在那里越冬，发现了三个坟墓。 where they overwintered, and they find three graves.
(不祥的音乐) (ominous music)
-这些是约翰·哈特内尔的 - Those belong to John Hartnel,
约翰·托灵顿和威廉·布莱恩， John Torrington, and William Braine,
三个船员在第一个冬天死去。 three crew members who had died during that first winter.
所以他们有实物证据 And so they have actual sort of physical evidence
富兰克林探险队曾到过那里 that the Franklin Expedition had been there.
-三个人的死亡时间表明 - The timing of the deaths of the three men indicates
他们不确定发生了什么事， that something had happened and they're not sure what,
但这不是一个好兆头。 but it's not a good sign.
另一件事是船没有找到任何记录， The other thing is that the ship doesn't find any record,
富兰克林探险队留下的任何信息。 any message left by the Franklin Expedition.
——1854年，在这支探险队首次启航9年后 - 1854, nine years after this expedition first set sail
在第一个搜索小组被派出六年后， and six years after the first search crew was sent,
英国皇家海军完全放弃了这次搜索 the British Royal Navy completely drops this search
宣布这次远征正式失败。 and declares this expedition as officially lost.
-简·富兰克林夫人直言不讳 - Lady Jane Franklin was quite outspoken
对于那个时代的女人来说， for a woman around that time,
她也有很多有影响力的朋友， and she also had a lot of influential friends,
所以她决定自己筹钱 and so she decided she was going to raise her own money
然后派人去调查到底发生了什么。 and have a private expedition to find out what happened.
她还是想知道 - [John] She still wants to know
她丈夫怎么了。 what's happened to her husband.
她筹到了足够的钱买了一艘叫做狐狸号的船 She raises enough money to buy a ship called the Fox
给船员和船长发工资 and to pay a crew and a captain
试图找到阿拉伯人和恐怖分子 to try to find the Arabis and the Terror.
——[劳伦斯]1857年 - [Laurence] In 1857,
在探险队首次启航12年后， 12 years after the expedition first set sail,
狐狸离开了英国 the Fox departs England
寻找富兰克林失踪船只的踪迹 on the trail of Franklin's lost ships.
——航行两年后，利奥波德·麦克林托克 - Two years into the voyage, Leopold McClintock,
他是狐狸号的船长， who is commander of the ship, the Fox,
找到可能解释的证据 finds evidence that might explain
船怎么了。 what happened to the ships.
(紧张的音乐) (tense music)
——梅纳德1859年2月 - [Maynard] February of 1859,
福克斯剧组正在威廉国王岛进行陆上搜索。 the Fox crew is on an overland search on King William Island.
利奥波德·麦克林托克遇到了一个因纽特海豹猎人 Leopold McClintock comes across one of these Inuit seal hunters
他们有一些小摆设 and they have some knickknacks
还有一些皇家海军的纽扣。 and some buttons that are part of the Royal Navy.
-因纽特人在被问及此事后， - The Inuit, after being questioned about this,
给船员指明一个地方的方向 point the crew in the direction of a place
叫做胜利点。 called Victory Point.
胜利点建立于1830年， Victory Point had been established back in 1830,
在早期的一次探险中， in an earlier expedition,
他们建起了所谓的石堆。 they erected what's called a cairn.
它只是一堆石头。 It's just a mound of stones.
麦克林托克和他的船员在这些石头中找到了 McClintock and his crew find nestled within these stones
一个锡罐，里面装着一封信。 a tin canister, and within that canister, a letter.
- [Laurence]胜利点笔记 - [Laurence] The Victory Point note
是一份预印的皇家海军官方文件。 is a pre-printed official Royal Navy document.
它还包含两个非常不同的手写信息。 It also contains two very different handwritten messages.
-第一个信息是非常积极的。 - The first message is very positive.
日期是1847年5月， It's dated May 1847,
报告说一切都很好。 a report that all is well.
富兰克林仍在指挥 Franklin is still in command
也没有任何令人担忧的迹象 and really doesn't indicate anything too worrisome
除了他们被困在冰里的事实 other than the fact that they have been stuck in ice
很长一段时间。 for a long time.
-[劳伦斯]第二条信息已经写好了 - [Laurence] The second message is written
在同一张纸上， on the same sheet of paper,
而是在页边空白处潦草地写着。 but is scribbled around the margins.
这是将近一年后写的 It's written nearly a year later
并讲述了一个更为凄凉的故事。 and tells a far bleaker tale.
-[约翰]第二条信息来自1848年4月。 - [John] This second message is from April 1848.
上面说冰从未融化 It says the ice never melted,
这意味着他们已经被困在那里19个月了。 which means they have been stuck there for 19 months.
- [Karlene]所以他们被困的地方 - [Karlene] So the area in which they got stuck
被称为超越的背后 is called the Back of Beyond,
即使是猎人也不会去那里。 and not even the hunters will go there.
这里非常贫瘠，不幸的是， It's very barren, and unfortunately,
这就是他们被困住的地方。 that's exactly where they got stuck.
- [Maynard]根据这张纸条，当时， - [Maynard] According to this note, at the time,
24名船员已经去世， 24 crew members had already passed away,
很不幸，包括约翰·富兰克林爵士本人 including, unfortunately, Sir John Franklin himself
谁刚刚死去两个星期 who had perished just two weeks
在第一张纸条写完之后。 after the first note was written.
一整个夏天都会过去的想法 - [John] The idea that an entire summer could pass
如果冰没有融化到足以让船只移动， without the ice melting enough for the ships to move,
这是前所未闻的。 it's unheard of.
在这个地区进行过多次探险。 There have been multiple expeditions through this area.
这是以前从未发生过的。 That's never happened before.
所以一旦在信中看到这些信息， So once this information is seen in the letter,
人们的反应是，这怎么可能是真的？ the reaction is, how can this possibly be true?
(戏剧性的音乐) (dramatic music)
-[劳伦斯]1859年，搜救队在寻找 - [Laurence] In 1859, search parties looking
为失去的富兰克林探险队而战 for the lost Franklin Expedition
找到迄今为止最有说服力的证据， find their most telling bit of evidence yet,
所谓的胜利点纸币。 the so-called Victory Point note.
纸条上的第二条信息， The second message on the note,
写于1848年4月25日， written on the 25th of April, 1848,
在远征队第一次离开英格兰将近三年之后 almost three years after the Expedition first leaves England,
提供了他们命运的线索。 provides a clue to their fate.
-第二个胜利点消息实际上是签名的 - The second Victory Point message is actually signed
恐怖号的两名指挥官 by the two commanding officers of the HMS Terror
还有皇家海军阿拉伯号。 and the HMS Arabis.
这是詹姆斯·菲茨詹姆斯和弗朗西斯·克罗泽。 This is James Fitzjames and Francis Crozier.
第二条信息表明，冰从未融化， The second message makes clear the ice never thawed,
那两艘船一直被囚禁着 that the two ships just remained imprisoned
由于冰天雪地，现在已经19个月了。 by the icy conditions and it had now been 19 months.
-有个附言写着 - There's a post script that says,
"从明天26号开始， "And start on tomorrow, the 26th,
去背鱼河。” for Backs Fish River."
背鱼河离船有200英里远。 Backs Fish River is 200 miles away from the ship.
这是一段艰难的跋涉 This is a heck of a trek
他们将不得不采取 they're going to have to take
穿过一片荒凉的地区。 across a completely desolate area.
这时，背鱼河 By this time, Backs Fish River
1858年就已经搜查过了，但一无所获， has already been searched in 1858 and nothing was turned up,
所以对这条信息的反应是不相信。 so the reaction to this message is disbelief.
-[劳伦斯]但是在2005年， - [Laurence] But in 2005,
气候科学家在北极冰层上有了新发现 climate scientists make a discovery in the Arctic ice
这可能会提供新的见解。 that could provide fresh insights.
-[约翰]一组气候研究人员 - [John] A team of climate researchers
由一位名叫罗伊·科纳的科学家领导， headed up by a scientist named Roy Koerner,
钻出冰芯样本 drills out core samples of the ice
往下大约300英尺。 going down about 300 feet.
通过研究这些冰芯 Upon studying these ice cores,
他们发现了为什么阿拉伯人 they discover why it is that the Arabis
而恐怖也没能从冰中逃脱。 and the Terror were not able to escape from the ice.
-每个冰芯都有不同的层， - You have different layers in each ice core,
这让你对环境有了一个大致的了解 and that gives you a glimpse into environmental
气候因素可以追溯到 and climate factors going back to when
这一层是在19世纪40年代形成的。 that layer was formed, all the way back to the 1840s.
这是自上次冰河时代以来最深的一次冰冻。 It was the deepest freeze since the last Ice Age.
-[约翰]19世纪中期的人 - [John] People in the mid 19th century
没有那种理解 don't have the kind of understanding
我们今天的大气变暖和变冷。 of atmospheric warming and cooling that we have today.
约翰·富兰克林选了一个最糟糕的时机 - John Franklin had literally picked the worst time,
我们说的是万年一遇的冬天 we're talking a one in 10,000 year winter
通过西北航道 to go through the Northwest Passage.
-[劳伦斯]面对冬天的危险， - [Laurence] To face the perils of winter,
富兰克林正在航海 Franklin is sailing in ships
那是当时最先进的技术。 that are state of the art at the time.
——这就是为什么有这么多信仰的原因之一 - One of the reasons why there was so much faith
在这次航行中，阿拉伯人和恐怖分子 in this voyage was that the Arabis and the Terror
拥有最先进的引擎。 had these state-of-the-art engines.
这些引擎能产生25马力 These engines generate 25 horsepower,
哇，太神奇了。 which, whoa, that's amazing.
嗯，现代的破冰船 Well, modern icebreakers
有七万五千马力可以凿穿最厚的冰。 have 75,000 horsepower to cut through the thickest ice.
阿拉伯和恐怖只有25马力， The Arabis and the Terror with only 25 horsepower,
他们没有机会。 they don't stand a chance.
-[劳伦斯]尽管天气反常， - [Laurence] Yet despite the freak weather,
探险队正在不知不觉中驶入 the Expedition is unwittingly sailing into,
胜利点笔记提供了另一条线索 the Victory Point note offers another clue
导致远征失败的原因 to what doomed the Expedition.
他不仅遇到了 - [John] Not only is he running into
这种天气现象， this weather phenomenon,
但他也为探险队做了一些选择 but he's also made some choices for the Expedition
那艘船将载着阿拉伯人 that was going to carry the Arabis
把恐怖带进危险的未知水域。 and the Terror into some dangerous, uncharted waters.
(戏剧性的音乐) (dramatic music)
-兰开斯特海峡是通道的入口 - Lancaster Sound is the entrance to the passage
这是众所周知的， that is already known,
所以我们的想法是穿过那里，直到他来到一个地方 so the idea was to go through there until he came to a spot
地图上不再填满的地方。 where the map was no longer filled in.
-[劳伦斯]在比奇岛度过第一个冬天后， - [Laurence] After his first winter at Beechey Island,
然后富兰克林向南穿过皮尔湾 Franklin then heads south through Peel sound
他面临着一个关键的决定。 where he faces a crucial decision.
他来到了后来被证明是北极的地方 He had come to what turned out to be the northern tip
威廉国王岛。 of King William Island.
当然，他不知道的是，在这之外还有什么。 But what he didn't know, of course, was what was beyond it.
所以他确实要做出选择，是否向东走 So he did have a choice to make there whether to head east
或者沿着他的路线向西。 or west in his route.
坐标记录下来了 - [Laurence] The coordinates recorded
在胜利点笔记中 in the Victory Point note
说明富兰克林选择了向西的路线 make clear that Franklin chooses the western route.
-[约翰]富兰克林要把船开走 - [John] Franklin is going to take the ships
在威廉国王岛以西。 west of King William Island.
富兰克林进入的未知水域是一个区域 The uncharted waters that Franklin enters is an area
不同来源的水从哪里流入 where water from different sources is flowing in
这就像一个漏斗。 and that acts as a funnel.
-所以冰在中间流动， - So you've got ice flowing and meeting in the middle,
这就是富兰克林和他的船队所在的地方 and this is where Franklin and his ships were,
这是北极最糟糕的地方。 and it was the worst place in the Arctic to be.
-他们没有意识到的是，就在他们身后， - And what they don't realize is, right behind them,
当这些船驶入时，水已经结冰了， the water is freezing as these ships are moving in,
所以它们被锁定在一个地方。 so they're locked into place.
那就是探险队被困的地方，没有出路。 That's where the Expedition is stuck and there's no way out.
-如果他沿着东边航行 - Had he sailed down the east side
然后经过威廉国王岛，然后向西航行， and then passed King William Island and then to the west,
如果富兰克林那样做了， had Franklin done that,
我们不知道会发生什么。 we don't know what would've happened.
也许他能挺过来。 Maybe he would've made it.
——50年后，挪威探险家劳伦斯 - [Laurence] 50 years later, Norwegian explorer,
罗尔德·阿蒙森走东线 Roald Amundsen takes the eastern route
成功地通过了西北航道 and successfully navigates the Northwest Passage
这是第一次。 for the first time.
但对富兰克林和他的手下来说， But for Franklin and his men,
在冰封了19个月之后， after 19 months trapped in the ice,
他们绝望到要弃船而逃。 they are desperate enough to abandon ship.
-[约翰]白天很少 - [John] There is very little daylight
因为他们在遥远的北方。 because they're so far north.
24人死亡。 24 people had died.
也许他们害怕被困在那里 Maybe they're afraid they're gonna be stuck there
再过一年，但可能还有别的事。 for another year, but there could be something else.
有些东西足以让这些人害怕 There's something that could be terrifying these men enough
离开相对安全的船只 to leave the relative safety of the ships
穿过这荒凉的地区。 to go through this desolate area.
(不祥的音乐) (ominous music)
（风吹）（紧张的音乐） (wind blowing) (tense music)
——[劳伦斯]1848年，启航三年后， - [Laurence] 1848, three years after setting sail,
富兰克林探险队放弃了他们的船只 the Franklin Expedition abandoned their ships
在威廉国王岛附近。 off King William Island.
与此同时，第一支英国搜索队也出发了 Meanwhile, the first British search team is setting off
在探险家约翰·雷的带领下从陆上营救他们 to rescue them over land, led by explorer John Rae.
接下来的六年里，它们在北极搜寻。 For the next six years, they scour the Arctic.
约翰·雷是一位苏格兰探险家。 - John Rae is a Scottish explorer.
他最初是当外科医生的 He got his start as as a surgeon
哈德逊湾公司 with the Hudson Bay Company.
-不像富兰克林和他的手下 - Unlike Franklin and his men,
雷伊向当地土著因纽特人学习， Rae has learned from the local indigenous people, the Inuit,
所以他穿的是皮草而不是羊毛。 and so he's wearing fur instead of wool.
他用的是雪橇和雪鞋。 He's using sleds and snowshoes.
他能够在恶劣的北极环境中生存 He's able to survive in that harsh Arctic environment
就像因纽特人一样。 just like the Inuit.
-[约翰]到1854年，他已经覆盖了超过5000平方英里的土地。 - [John] And he covers, by 1854, more than 5,000 square miles.
1854年5月，在一个地方 In May of 1854, at a place
在威廉姆斯国王岛以东约150英里处， about 150 miles east of King Williams Island,
他们遇到了一群想和他们交易的因纽特人。 they encounter a group of Inuit who want to trade with them.
-他注意到了手腕上 - [Rob] And he noticed on the wrist
一个因纽特猎人的照片 of one of the Inuit hunters,
他的海豹皮大衣，一只金手环。 his sealskin parka, a gold band.
雷立刻意识到了这一点 And Rae immediately recognizes that
就其本身而言，这是一个帽带。 for what it is, it's a cap band.
这是一种军官帽带， It's an officer's cap band,
他知道因纽特人获得这种机会的几率 and he knows the chances of an Inuit being given that
是非常非常不可能的。 are very, very unlikely.
于是他开始和这个猎人对话 So he starts a dialogue with this hunter
然后问，你从哪弄来的？ and asks, where did you get that?
-因纽特人告诉雷伊，前四个冬天， - The Inuit tell Rae that four winters previously,
他们遇到了大约40名白人男子 they had encountered a group of about 40 white men
拖着一艘船向南穿过这片区域。 dragging a boat south through this area.
因纽特人描述了这个群体的领袖 The Inuit described the leader of this group
一个又高又壮的人拿着望远镜。 as a tall, stout man with a telescope.
他们的描述符合弗朗西斯·克罗泽的描述， Their description matches a description of Francis Crozier,
他曾是富兰克林的副手。 who had been Franklin's second in command.
-[梅纳德]因纽特人说白人会交流 - [Maynard] The Inuit stated that the white man communicated
用手势表示他们的船 using gestures saying that their ships
被困在冰里 had actually been trapped in ice
他们逃到陆地上是为了猎鹿。 and they had fled to land in order to hunt deer.
很明显，Rae听到这个消息很兴奋 - [John] Obviously, Rae is excited by this news
他马上就想知道他们去了哪里。 and he immediately wants to figure out where they've gone.
因纽特人解释说这些人现在都死了， The Inuit explain all of these men are now dead,
他们相信自己知道原因。 and they believe that they know why.
(紧张的音乐) (tense music)
-因纽特人提供了进一步的资料 - The Inuit provided further information
还有这群男人。 about this group of men as well.
因纽特人说他们真的遇到了他们的营地 Inuits say that they actually encountered their camp
几个月后 several months later
在现场发现了30具尸体。 and discovered 30 corpses on site.
-他们很确定富兰克林的人， - They were quite sure that Franklin's man,
或者至少是其中的一部分， or at least some group of them,
采取了雷所说的手段 had resorted to what Rae called
最后一个资源，同类相食。 the last resource, cannibalism.
(不祥的音乐) (ominous music)
所以因纽特人告诉雷伊 So the Inuit tell Rae
他们见过装人肉的罐子 that they had seen pots in which human flesh
已经煮熟了。 had been cooked.
手臂或四肢被切断的人， People with their arms or limbs cut off, severed,
骨头上的肉被割掉的迹象。 signs of the flesh being removed from the bones.
-当因纽特人发现这个营地时 - When the Inuit discovered this camp,
他们不仅得到了这个令人震惊的消息， not only did they have this shocking news,
但他们实际上有实物文物 but they actually have physical artifacts
来支持他们的主张。 to buttress their claim.
有一个银盘子其实是富兰克林的。 There was a silver plate that actually belonged to Franklin.
-所以对雷伊来说，因纽特人告诉他的， - So for Rae, both what the Inuit tell him,
还有他们带给他的藏物， and the artifacts that they've brought him,
这足以让他相信他知道发生了什么 it's enough to convince him that he knows what happened
富兰克林和他的手下 to Franklin and his men.
- [Russell]但是他写的是书面报告 - [Russell] But he writes a written report
他的雇主哈德逊湾公司 to his employers, the Hudson's Bay Company,

在雷之前到达伦敦。 gets to London before Rae does.
- [Laurence] Rae很满意他最终解决了这个问题 - [Laurence] Rae is satisfied that he's finally solved
失踪探险队的谜团， the riddle of the missing expedition,
但他的报告并不受欢迎。 but his report isn't well received.
-没人愿意相信 - [John] Nobody wants to believe
皇家海军的那些人 that men of the Royal Navy
会求助于同类相食。 would resort to cannibalism.
同类相食是野蛮人的行为， Cannibalism is something that savages engage in,
不是世界上最伟大帝国的文明人。 not civilized men of the greatest empire in the world.
-查尔斯·狄更斯也参与其中 - Charles Dickens gets involved in this
因为他是富兰克林家的朋友 because he's a friend of the Franklins
富兰克林夫人显然催促他 and Lady Franklin apparently urges him
攻击提出这些主张的雷人和因纽特人 to attack Rae and the Inuit who make these claims.
-[罗伯]狄更斯暗示因纽特人 - [Rob] Dickens implies that the Inuit
杀死了富兰克林的手下 actually killed Franklin's men,
然后他们拿走了这些文物， and then they took these artifacts,
这完全不是真的。 which was totally not true.
- [John] Rae收赏金， - [John] Rae collects the reward money,
但他的名声已经岌岌可危了 but his reputation is pretty well shot
而且他没有返程。 and he does not make a return trip.
很久很久以后，事实证明他是对的。 It turns out much, much later, he was right.

可能是真的。 may have been true.
-找回的骨头显示 - Bones that were retrieved show
刀割的痕迹 cut marks on them from knives,
它们也表明它们确实是煮过的 and they also show that they were indeed cooked
然后把它们煮熟，取出骨髓。 and that they were boiled to draw the bone marrow out.
-[劳伦斯]尽管有令人信服的法医证据， - [Laurence] Despite this compelling forensic evidence,
问题仍然是 questions remain about
富兰克林探险队的队员怎么样了 how the men of the Franklin Expedition
可能会饿死的 could have starved to death.
-[约翰]他们配备了8000多罐 - [John] They were equipped with over 8,000 tins
食物和蔬菜， of food and vegetable,
所以他们应该有足够的食物来生存。 so they should have had enough provisions to have survived.
雷还报告说，是因纽特人告诉他们的 Rae also reported that the Inuit told them
他们发现了许多未开封的罐头。 that they found many cans that were unopened.

这个数字高得惊人。 that is shockingly high.
-[罗布]人体内含铅量 - [Rob] The amount of lead in a person's body

所以它不代表一个特定的时间或时期。 so it doesn't speak to a particular time or period.
它只是说明了人体内的铅含量。 It just speaks to the overall amount of lead in the person.
-[约翰]一种更有用的测定铅含量的方法 - [John] A more useful way of determining lead content

指甲和脚趾甲。 fingernails, and toenails.
-[罗布]不像骨头， - [Rob] Unlike bone,
指甲和头发更难被发现。 it's harder for nails and for hair to be found.
所以你真的需要一个身体 So really you need a body,
当然，富兰克林的大部分遗骸都只是骨头。 and of course, most of the Franklin remains are only bones.
但是贝蒂和他的团队意识到 - [Laurence] Yet Beattie and his team realize
有一个网站可以提供他们需要的材料 there's one site that could provide the material they need

是缺乏维生素C is vitamin C deficiency.
实际上，大多数动物都能 Most animals are actually able

所以我们需要从食物中获取所有的维生素C So we're required to get all of our vitamin C from food
比如新鲜的水果和蔬菜。 such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
坏血病一直是世界各国海军的祸害 - Scurvy had been the scourge of navies around the world
因为在探险航行中， because on voyages of exploration particularly,
你离原来的补给太远了， you're going so far from your original supplies,
所以你全身都被晒干了 so you're getting mostly dried

为了预防坏血病， to prevent scurvy,
那就是吃柑橘类，比如酸橙， and that is to consume citrus, things like limes,
橙子和柠檬。 oranges, and lemons.
根据海军的记录， - [Laurence] According to Navy records,
富兰克林探险队启航 the Franklin expedition sets sail
有了三年的柠檬汁供应， with a three year supply of lemon juice,
但皇家海军可能没有考虑到这一点 but the Royal Navy may not have taken into account
长途航行对船上储备的影响。 the effects of such a long journey on the ship's reserves.
-可能出现了问题 - A problem could have arose
因为三年之后，它们可能就用完了， because after three years they may have run out,
或者正如西里亚克斯所指出的， or as Cyriax points out,
一年后，柠檬可能已经开始发酵。 after a year, the lemons may have started to ferment.
-所以人们相信他们可能闻到了气味， - And so it's believed that they probably smelled it,
它闻起来是腐烂的，是发酵过的 and it smelled rotten, it had fermented
他们试着煮，但不幸的是， and they tried to boil it, but unfortunately,
这样你就能清除掉所有的维生素C， you're getting rid of all the vitamin C by doing that,
这可能导致他们得坏血病。 and so that could have led to them getting scurvy.
-一旦坏血病发作 - Once scurvy takes hold,
症状开始以难以置信的速度发展。 the symptoms begin to progress incredibly fast.
所以等富兰克林号船员意识到的时候 So by the time the Franklin crew realizes
他们的柠檬汁不再有效， that their lemon juice is no longer effective,
最终还是太迟了。 it's ultimately just too late.
所以坏血病可能还不够 - [Karlene] So the scurvy may not have been enough
把所有人都杀了， to actually kill everyone off,
但它可以让事情发生。 but it could have set things in motion.
你说的是人们会生病， You're talking about people getting sick,
他们现在认为这艘船可能被诅咒了， they're now thinking maybe this boat is cursed,
所以他们想去其他地方寻找资源 and so they wanna go and seek resources elsewhere

因纽特人一直都知道这一点 The Inuit have always known that in order
为了获得足够的维生素C，生吃肉类。 to get enough vitamin C, you eat meat raw.
例如，因纽特人捕猎海豹、鲸鱼、驯鹿， So the Inuit, for example, they hunt seals, whales, caribou,
