Back in 1845, Sir John Franklin set out with two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, to find the Northwest Passage. They vanished without a trace, sparking one of history's great maritime puzzles. For years, theories swirled, from scurvy to lead poisoning, but the truth remained elusive. It wasn't until recent expeditions and archaeological findings that we learned about the harsh Arctic conditions, lead contamination from canned food, and the desperate struggle for survival that likely led to their demise. It's a sobering reminder of the perils faced by explorers in uncharted territories.

The Terror: Reimagining The Doomed Franklin Expedition With A Supernatural Twist

In this episode of the Fully-Booked podcast, we wrap up our month-long exploration of alternate history fiction by delving into the 2018 AMC series The Terror. Based on the 2007 novel by Dan Simmons, the show's first season reimagines the ill-fated Franklin Expedition, which set out to navigate the Northwest Passage in 1845. By blending historical fact with supernatural horror elements, The Terror offers a chilling and thought-provoking take on one of the most enduring mysteries of the 19th century. The Real-Life Tragedy of the Franklin Expedition To fully appreciate the creative liberties taken by Simmons and the show's creators, it's essential to understand the historical context of the Franklin Expedition. In May 1845, Sir John Franklin set out from England with two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, and a crew of 129 men. Their goal was to chart a navigable route through the Arctic in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. The expedition was last seen by Europeans in July 1845, after which it disappeared into the icy wilderness. Searches mounted by Lady Jane Franklin and others over the following decades uncovered grim evidence of the crew's fate, including notes indicating that the ships had become trapped in ice and that Franklin and many of his men had perished. The surviving crew attempted to trek overland safely, but none survived. A Supernatural Twist on a Historical Mystery The Terror takes this historical framework and weaves in a terrifying supernatural element: a monstrous creature stalking the stranded crew. Inspired by the Inuit legend of the Tuunbaq, Simmons' novel and the subsequent adaptation imagine the men of the Franklin Expedition facing not only the harsh Arctic environment and dwindling resources but also a malevolent force beyond their understanding. The show masterfully builds tension by keeping the creature largely hidden, allowing the viewer's imagination to run wild. The brief glimpses we do get of the Tuunbaq suggest a twisted, bear-like entity, both familiar and utterly alien. As the crews of the Erebus and Terror struggle to survive, they must also grapple with the mounting horror of an enemy they cannot hope to fight. Hierarchy, Hubris, and Human Nature Beyond its central mystery, The Terror offers a compelling examination of the rigid hierarchy and power dynamics within the expedition. From the early tensions between the seasoned Commander Crozier and the glory-seeking Captain Franklin to the growing resentment among the lower-ranking crew members, the show deftly illustrates how the stresses of their dire situation exacerbate existing fault lines. Moreover, the series explores the hubris and folly of men like Franklin, whose blind pursuit of fame and glory leads them to underestimate the dangers of the Arctic. By contrast, characters like Crozier and the Inuit woman known as Lady Silence emerge as voices of reason, their understanding of the environment and respect for its power ultimately proving crucial to survival. Adaptation and the Power of Research One of the most striking aspects of The Terror is the depth of historical detail woven into its narrative. Simmons' extensive research is evident in every aspect of the story, from the meticulously recreated ships and uniforms to the incorporation of real-life crew members and Inuit culture. This commitment to authenticity grounds the more fantastical elements of the tale, making the horror all the more impactful. By imagining a scenario in which the Franklin Expedition was doomed not only by the unforgiving Arctic but also by a malevolent supernatural force, Simmons and the show's creators invite us to consider the many ways in which history can be reinterpreted and reimagined. Conclusion The Terror stands as a testament to the enduring power of historical mysteries and the creative potential of alternate-history fiction. By blending meticulous research with inventive storytelling, Simmons and the AMC adaptation have crafted a tale that is both deeply unnerving and profoundly human. As we conclude our exploration of this fascinating subgenre, The Terror serves as a fitting reminder of the many ways in which the past can be mined for fresh and compelling narratives. Whether as a window into the darkest corners of the human psyche or as a means of grappling with the unknowable forces that shape our world, alternate history fiction continues to captivate and provoke in equal measure.

The Franklin Expedition was a failed British voyage of Arctic exploration led by Captain Sir John Franklin in May 1845. The expedition consisted of 24 officers and 110 men and was assigned to traverse the last unnavigated sections of the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic and to record magnetic data to help determine whether a better understanding could aid navigation. In May 1847, the expedition's two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror found themselves locked in the ice, and their fate is one of the enduring mysteries of the age of exploration.

The last episode was all about the Franklin expedition and it had me slinging facts and quotes left and right and because there were so many interesting things related, with some more removed than others to the cursed painting. When editing the audio I had to edit out a couple of times when I had run out of breath! There was simply a lot to cover and we were just skating along the surface. Whew! We left off with two abandoned ships, no survivors and the terrible story that the officers and crew of the ships had perished in the hostile environment of the polar desert —some were never accounted for.  Grim, sad, and a beyond-difficult story, but that leaves us at a turning point in our  story. The expedition left England in 1845 add to that the search and rescue starting in 1847 and ending 40 expeditions later in 1859. The search for the Franklin expedition ended 14 years after they departed.  That's holding out some serious hope, but was it? there was still the lure of finding the Northwest Passage. And going on these rescue mission came with the chance to discover the Northwest Passage. Five years after the rescuers stopped looking—it was 1864 we arrive at the painting Man Proposes, God Disposes by Edwin Landseer who was living in Victorian England.

The Franklin Expedition looms large in Canadian myths and legends, in large part because of what happened to the doomed crews of the HMS Erebus and Terror… or what we think happened.  But at the heart of this story of the Canadian north is an Irishman from Co. Down who lived through the worst that the unforgiving winters had to offer, and then led the survivors as they abandoned the ships and wandered off into the ice.  But who was Francis Crozier, and what do we know about the man at the heart of the mystery?

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

"This is my take on global warming and war, both of which are human made real threats to all life of earth. "Named after the British explorer James Clark Ross, who obtained the first specimen during his Antarctic expedition with war ships HMS Erebus and Terror 1839 -1843, less is known about the Ross seal than any of the other Antarctic seals. The species is mostly found on the extremely hard to navigate pack ice around the Antarctic continent, sometimes called “the last place on earth”. The Ross seal often assumes a posture with the head raised, and the mouth open and pointing upwards, and it is due to this behavior that this seal has often been referred to as the “singing seal”.  It displays a variety of vocalizations which may be used for communication between seals or to warn off predators. Explosive noises, pulsed chugs and siren calls are also used by the Ross seal, some of which are used during mating and in communication between the mother and pup. "The first siren was invented by John Robison towards the end of the 18th century as a device to create a piercing sound. Various similar apparatus with loudspeakers were quickly developed before and during “the war to end all wars” WW1 and further became an all too familiar soundtrack to anyone in Europe during WW2. The wailing sound being synonymous with approaching enemy bombing from above. Most countries test the air raid sirens on a regular basis during peace time. In Ukraine during the war in 2022, the sounds of the air raid sirens are no drill. The waxing and waning wail of a siren has embedded itself in the human psyche as warning of impending danger. "The primary threat to the Ross seal as well as the human species is global climate change. The Antarctic holds up to 86% of all fresh water on earth. Would this melt - which it already is - sea levels around the globe will rise, up to 10 meters, affecting all coastal cities and the global climate as we know it. The sirens of the Antarctic are out of sight and ears, but the warning is real. "Siren (noun, device) a device that makes a loud warning noise: The terrible wail of sirens signaled a disaster. "Siren (in ancient Greek literature) one of the creatures who were half woman and half bird, whose beautiful singing encouraged sailors to sail into dangerous waters where they died."  Ross seal reimagined by Eva Q Månsson.

La Expedición Franklin de 1845 es una de las tragedias más famosas de la historia de la exploración del Ártico. Dirigida por Sir John Franklin, la malhadada travesía de los dos navíos británicos, el HMS Erebus y el HMS Terror, partió de Inglaterra con 129 hombres en busca del Paso del Noroeste. A pesar de que el Almirantazgo aseguró que los barcos estaban equipados con la última tecnología de navegación y suministros para tres años, la Expedición Franklin terminó en fracaso y pérdida de vidas. Los 129 miembros de la tripulación perecieron en el Ártico, y no fue hasta 2014 cuando se descubrieron los restos del HMS Erebus. ¿Es posible que la maldición que se dice pesaba sobre estos barcos haya llegado a nuestros días?

This week I catch up with Julian Sancton. Julian has written a remarkable book about the Beligica exploration 1897 and the journey she and her crew went on in search of the magnetic south. This is a story of triumph over disaster and disaster over triumph. Julian wrote part of this during lockdown so it's quite a fitting read at times. Also it's not a hard sell this book; it simply romps along bringing an entirely new dimension to exploration that has yet been told. It's cinematic in its scale and mind blowing in its brutality. I had to read this book after Michael Palin told me too and I'm glad I did. If you haven't then I do recommend HMS Erebus a book about a ship by Michael Palin and also Endurance the story about Shackleton's truly heroic escape from the jaws of Antartica. It was a heroic age with men from so many different backgrounds and mindsets.

Inspired by the recent BBC series 'The Terror', a chilling tale based on one of polar exploration's deepest mysteries, Dr Sam Willis explores the history HMS Terror. The TV series is set on the Terror's last and fateful voyage when, in 1845, under the command of Sir John Franklin and alongside another ship, HMS Erebus, Terror sailed into the ice off the west coast of Greenland in search of the Northwest passage. Both ships were beset by ice but the crew stayed with the ships, only abandoning them in April 1848. By then Franklin and more than 24 sailors had died. The survivors attempted to walk to the Canadian mainland and were never seen again.The TV series is a fictional and fantastical account of what might have happened to the men; the truth is that we know very little indeed about their plight and it remains one of the biggest mysteries of maritime history. The Terror and Erebus were last sighted by Europeans on 25 July 1845, two years and nine months before the final and failed attempt to reach land.In this episode Sam Willis speaks with Ed Williams-Hawkes, an expert navigator of powerboats, historian, and resident of Topsham in Devon where the Terror was built, and they discuss the fascinating history of HMS Terror, which had enjoyed a long and extraordinary career before she entered the ice with Franklin.

In this episode I’m joined by author and historian Dr Shane McCorristine, to talk about his 2018 book The Spectral Arctic: A History of Dreams and Ghosts in Polar Exploration. In the book Shane's research ventures beyond the familiar concepts of Arctic exploration in the 19th Century and reveals a wealth of strange stories and supernatural phenomena encountered by people travelling to the frozen north, as they partook in missions to find the near mythical Northwest Passage.  Embodying that endeavour was the legendary Franklin expedition, whose disappearance in 1848 prompted rescue missions across the globe as well as the use of clairvoyants to try and locate the lost ships, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus. The fate of the crews of those vessels also inspired a host of macabre tales, both among the native peoples of the Arctic as well as back home in Britain, and these too play their part in understanding what Victorian society really considered the frozen north to be like.

What did our brothers think of The Terror? - The Royal Navy's polar explorer ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror having recently left Beechey Island, heading south toward King William Island into uncharted territory, seeking the Northwest Passage. The ships are soon struck, frozen and isolated, and those aboard must survive the harsh weather conditions and each other, while being stalked by an elusive menace. - Black Rock Broadcast Podcasts for you, from us! - Twitter https://twitter.com/brbroadcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/blackrockbroadcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blackrockbroadcast - Leave us a Review and Subscribe Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-brothers-one-pilot/id1531215703 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7jATgmn2s0SLAZMwdIqZ8W?si=QqUgRDocTg-WFQHxxndBeg Anchor https://anchor.fm/blackrock-broadcast Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/search/two%20brothers%20one%20pilot Breaker https://www.breaker.audio/two-brothers-one-pilot Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1531215703/two-brothers-one-pilot Pocket Casts https://pca.st/bzrxqvic Radio Public https://radiopublic.com/two-brothers-one-pilot-GMZZ1N #twobrothersonepilot #blackrockbroadcast

In 1845 two ships named the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, carried 134 men towards the frozen waters of what is now Nunavut, Canada in order to finish mapping the then theoretical route, known as the Northwest Passage. Other than 5 men who fell ill early into the expedition and were discharged, the renowned Caption Franklin and his entire crew would be dead in just a few short years. It would be 169 years until the first of the two ships were found, thanks to an Inuit historian named Louie Kamookak who was from a place called Gjoa Haven. Mr. Kamookak dedicated his life to documenting Inuit oral history and all the legends about the Franklin expedition told to him by the community elders. When the fleet first went missing, the Inuit testimony was disregarded due to racism, but Louie knew in his heart that they were true, and he proved it - to all of us.

Ils sont alors loin de se douter qu'ils s'apprêtent à s'engager dans une véritable descente aux enfers, dont pas un seul membre de l'équipage ne réchappera.Pour aller plus loin :En Arctique, les baleines peuvent désormais passer à travers la banquiseLes représentations de l'Afrique, de l'Antiquité au XIXe siècleVoir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.Transcription du podcast:Bienvenue dans Chasseurs de science, un podcast produit par Futura. Je m'appelle Emma, et je serai votre guide temporelle au cours de cette excursion. Ensemble, nous lèverons l'ancre dans un port d'Angleterre pour nous aventurer aux confins des étendues glacées et impitoyables de l'Arctique, sur les traces d'une expédition au sort tragique. Vous écoutez Chasseurs de sciences, si ce podcast vous plaît, n'hésitez pas à le partager sur les réseaux sociaux et à nous laisser un commentaire.Nous sommes en 1845, dans le port de Greenhithe, et deux des joyaux de la marine royale anglaise s'apprêtent à quitter leur pays natal. Le HMS Erebus et HMS Terror sont des modèles d'avancée technologique pour leur époque : rapides et puissants, ils sont même équipés d'un système de chauffage interne. De chauffage, ils en auront d'ailleurs besoin, car le capitaine Sir John Franklin s'apprête à mener son expédition, constituée de 134 officiers et membres d'équipage, dans les eaux gelées du cercle Arctique.Au début du XIXe siècle, la majorité des océans a déjà été explorée et cartographiée. Néanmoins, une terra - ou plutôt une acqua - incognita demeure convoitée par de nombreux pays : le célèbre passage Nord-Ouest, qui offrirait aux marins européens la possibilité de joindre l'Extrême-Orient sans avoir à contourner les Amériques ou l'Asie. Fendant les eaux au nord de l'Atlantique, traversant l'archipel arctique canadien et longeant la côte alaskienne, le passage devait déboucher sur l'océan Pacifique via le détroit de Bering découvert trois siècles plus tôt. Après une traversée relativement paisible de l'océan Atlantique, l'expédition Franklin s'arrête au Groenland pour un ultime ravitaillement. Cinq marins sont renvoyés chez eux pour raisons médicales, portant avec eux les dernières nouvelles que l'Angleterre recevrait de l'équipage, en route vers son inéluctable disparition.Ce ne sera que deux ans et demi plus tard, lors de l'hiver 1847 que la marine royale entendra enfin les sollicitations inquiètes de la femme de Sir Franklin et dépêchera en 1848 une mission de sauvetage afin de retrouver le capitaine et ses hommes. Le premier indice est découvert en 1850 sur l'île Beechey : trois pierres tombales, portant les noms d'un officier et de deux membres de l'équipage.Grâce aux découvertes des décennies suivantes, et aux avancées de la science moderne, le sort de l'expédition Franklin a depuis été presque intégralement retracé et raconte l'histoire d'une terrible descente aux enfers.Les dates inscrites sur les tombes indiquent aux historiens que deux des hommes seraient morts en janvier 1846, tandis que le troisième ne serait passé à trépas qu'en avril de la même année. Ces éléments suggèrent que l'expédition aurait fait halte plusieurs mois sur l'île, afin de protéger les navires et l'équipage contre le dur hiver arctique, durant lequel les eaux se transforment en véritable piège de glace.Une fois le printemps arrivé, HMS Erebus et HMS Terror reprirent leur route vers le sud de l'archipel canadien, en direction de l'île King William, où le passage tant espéré devait se trouver. Ils étaient alors loin de se douter qu'ils s'apprêtaient à emprunter l'une des voies navigables les plus dangereuses de l'Arctique, et rapidement, les navires se trouvèrent complètement immobilisés. Un message laissé par l'équipage sur l'île en mai 1847, via un dispositif dédié à ce type de communication, indique que les navires avaient été emprisonnés par la glace par deux fois, lors des hivers 1846 et 1847. Tout aurait pu suggérer que le voyage se déroulait sans autre encombre majeure si une note griffonnée dans un coin de la page n'avait indiqué une toute autre vérité.Rédigée en avril 1848, celle-ci annonce la mort de Sir Franklin, de vingt-trois de ses hommes, et l'abandon des vaisseaux par l'équipage. Ces derniers, incapables de poursuivre plus loin par les eaux, s'étaient donné pour objectif de rejoindre en traîneau puis en canot le comptoir commercial le plus proche, au nord du continent américain. De récents carottages révèlent que la région avait connu plusieurs années particulièrement froides, durant lesquelles la glace refusait de fondre même en été, maintenant les navires dans un éternel joug de fer.Grâce à l'exhumation des corps de l'île Beechey en 1984, les scientifiques purent découvrir l'origine des nombreuses morts qui pesaient sur l'expédition Franklin. Bien que les analyses révèlent que les trois hommes étaient morts de tuberculose ou de pneumonie, elles indiquèrent également la présence d'un élément inattendu : un taux anormal de plomb fut mesuré chez chacun d'eux. Afin d'affronter leur mission en eaux hostiles, HMS Erebus et HMS Terror transportaient en effet dans leur coque 3 ans de provisions sous la forme d'eau distillée et de boîtes de conserve, une invention récente dont l'Angleterre comptait bien tirer profit. Malheureusement, il semblerait que soit l'eau, soit la soudure au plomb utilisée sur les boîtes, aient participé à l'empoisonnement graduel d'une part importante des hommes de Franklin. Régulièrement affligés de migraines, de douleurs abdominales et musculaires, et d'un déclin progressif de leur système immunitaire, ceux-ci auraient sombré toujours plus profondément dans la folie alors que leur esprit se trouvait assailli de pertes de mémoire, d'hallucinations et d'épisodes paranoïaques. Un autre coupable, bien connu des marins, était le scorbut qui causait des ulcères nécrotiques sur tout le corps, la perte des dents et des hémorragies internes qui menaient inexorablement à la mort de la personne atteinte sans un traitement adéquat. Les conserves de fruits et de légumes à bord avaient bien pour but de pourvoir aux besoins en vitamine C des hommes d'équipage, néanmoins la marine ayant choisi de se fournir au plus bas coût possible, nombre d'entre elles étaient improprement closes. Ce défaut de fabrication pouvait être responsable de la perte d'efficacité de la vitamine, mais également de l'apparition de cas de botulisme. Ainsi, par-dessus les symptômes d'un potentiel empoisonnement au plomb et du scorbut s'ajoutaient la difficulté à avaler, à parler et à respirer, une fatigue intense, des vomissements et une paralysie musculaire.Il est possible que les membres de l'expédition se soient aperçus des problèmes de santé causés par leurs provisions et aient choisi de chasser leur propre nourriture dans la mesure où un phoque ou deux pouvaient être débusqués. Malheureusement, le botulisme E est endémique de la région, et transmissible aux humains via le gibier qu'ils consomment. Aujourd'hui encore, l'Alaska compte un nombre de cas de botulisme particulièrement élevé, à l'origine de véritables dilemmes socio-culturels et sanitaires.En somme, rien que l'expédition Franklin eût pu consommer n'était sûr. Mais là encore, d'autre facteurs pouvaient intervenir dans la disparition des 105 âmes restantes, dévorées par l'enfer glacé.Une fois les navires abandonnés, alors qu'ils poursuivaient le reste du voyage à pied, les hommes durent tirer derrière eux sur d'immenses distances les centaines de kilos de canots, de provisions et de malades qui les accompagnaient. La transpiration générée par ce désagréable exercice gelait contre le corps tandis que les douleurs musculaires provoquées par les différentes maladies rendaient plus pénible encore cette marche sans fin. Le terrain, alternativement formé de glace, de gravier, de pierres coupantes ou de sable s'étendait, impardonnable, à l'infini, portant en lui la menace d'une attaque d'ours polaire ou de barrières infranchissables. À l'époque victorienne, des témoignages d'Inuits et celui d'un explorateur européen furent collectés, ainsi que plusieurs objets ayant appartenu à l'équipage, attestant du fait que leurs routes s'étaient à un moment croisées. Les Inuits décrivirent également un campement dénombrant pas moins de 30 morts, et de sinistres vestiges humains suggérant des actes de cannibalisme ; une hypothèse morbide qui sera plus tard confirmée par les scientifiques.Au final, pas un seul des hommes de l'expédition Franklin n'aura survécu pour raconter sa véritable histoire. Quelques 60 ans plus tard, le célèbre aventurier Roald Amundsen devenait le premier explorateur connu à franchir le passage Nord-Ouest. Puis, un jour, en 2014 et 2016, les vestiges du HMS Erebus et HMS Terror étaient enfin découverts sous les eaux terribles de l'Arctique.Merci d'avoir écouté Chasseurs de science.

Story 1 - Banff Officials Launch New Campaign This summer, Parks Canada is launching a new public education campaign to try to educate visitors about the dangers of feeding animals in the park. Large images of a wolf with a plastic bottle in its mouth with the caption 'human food kills wildlife' are beginning to appear in and around Banff. The other key message that will appear on posters is 'Give Wildlife Space'. Fines for feeding or harassing wildlife can be as high as $25,000 but the cost to wildlife can be even higher. Over the past few decades, front-line staff has been gradually reduced in the parks and it has really begun to hurt the ability of parks to keep tabs on visitor behaviour. For a number of years, we have had the wildlife guardian programs with staff driving park roads looking for wildlife jams and educating visitors on safe behaviour around animals. It is a very successful program and it would be a great program to keep expanding. Recently I had the opportunity to teach several this year's new guardians a course in park interpretation and from what I could see, we've got some great new guardians ready to hit the roads this summer. Story 2 - Who owns the Franklin Artifacts After years of searching, Parks Canada solved the second part of a 160-year mystery last summer with the discovery of the final ship of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition which disappeared without a trace in 1845 while searching for the fabled Northwest Passage. They discovered the HMS Terror in, of all places, Terror Bay, off the coast of King William Island. This lonely outpost sits in a narrow channel to the west of Baffin Bay in Canada's Nunavut Territory. Two years earlier, they discovered the HMS Erebus, believed to be the ship that Franklin died on. Before Parks Canada discovered the Erebus in 2014, while the ships were the property of England, the U.K. agreed to transfer ownership of all the artifacts except for those significant to the royal navy…oh yah and gold. They want the gold (PS, so far, no gold). Despite this agreement, so far talks to determine ownership keep stalling out. Obviously, Canada would like to have this settled before we continue to sink more money into additional archaeological work on the two sites. According to a recent article in the Calgary Herald, Parks Canada Spokeswoman Meaghan Bradley said: "Discussions with the government of the United Kingdom on the transfer of the Franklin artifacts are ongoing". Story 3 - Bear 148 gets Cranky There have been several stories about bear 148 recently in the press. They have been blown out of proportion in many ways and now is the time to bring in some calmness to the discussion. Bear 148 took over her mother's turf, which includes the town of Banff when her mother passed away a few years ago. If a bear can take advantage of a territory close to people, but still walk the tightrope of wildness, it can be a pretty good place to live. We're just heading into the calving season and so she'll be hanging around the townsite looking to find an unattended calf. Grizzlies normally take around 45% of newborn elk and moose calves. She won't be alone; cougars and wolves will also patrol the periphery looking for an opportunity for some elk veal. In April, she trotted behind a Canmore woman that was kick-sledding along the Spray River Fireroad in Banff. Kick-sledding is a type of dog sledding and while dogs are not allowed on this trail in the winter, they are allowed after mid-April. In a second incident bear 148 followed a hiking party, also with a dog, for 20 minutes. They were hiking on Mount Norquay when they encountered the bear. They were not carrying bear spray at the time. And just this past week, 148 made headlines by walking through Banff's high school girl's rugby match on the playing fields in Banff. Needless to say, it was an exciting few minutes for the girls whose team is coincidentally called the bears. Story 4 - Interior Rainforest The Columbia Mountains represent a landscape often referred to as the Interior Wet Belt. In most cases, when we talk about rainforests, we're talking about a coastal landscape. In fact, this is true for 98% of the world’s rainforests. What makes Canada's rainforest unique is that we also have continental rainforests. What the heck is a continental rainforest you ask? While rainforests are ALMOST exclusively a coastal phenomenon, in rare situations, rainforest-like conditions can occur far inland from the coast. We refer to these as continental rainforests. Summers in the Columbia Mountains are similar in temperature to the coastal rainforest, yet winters are quite a bit colder. While summer rains drop 320 to 452 mm of rain on the Columbia Mountains, it represents only a fraction of the rainfall soaking the coastal rainforests every year. You might wonder then, why is this considered a rainforest if it doesn't get enough, well, rain? The simplest reason is that precipitation has two forms…rain and snow. Winter snowfall in the Columbia's can be dramatic, with higher elevations buried under 10 or more metres of snow. This massive accumulation of snow means a long and prolonged summer melt, helping to ensure that soils never dry out. So, while it doesn't technically get enough overall moisture to really be considered a rainforest, the seemingly endless summer melt allows it to essentially simulate one. Soils that would dry out in other landscapes are constantly soaked by a seemingly endless runoff from melting winter snowfalls. These interior temperate rainforests are not only fascinating, but they are significant on a global scale. Only 2% of rainforests worldwide occur far enough away from coastal areas to be considered continental rainforests. In future episodes, we'll take a deeper look into some of the incredible natural and human history of these forests

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start out talking about how in tests on mice, alcohol activated the brain signals that tell the body to eat more food. The UK researchers, who report their findings in the journal Nature Communications, believe the same is probably true in humans. It would explain why many people say they eat more when they have had a few drinks. Rather than loss of restraint, it is a neuronal response, the Francis Crick Institute team says. Then, recently someone wrote Lon Strickler over at Phantoms and Monsters about a strange Dogman like creature they saw one evening in 2013 in southeast Manitoba. Then, a team of scientists selected by federal officials in Seattle have come across new evidence in the mystery of D.B. Cooper. The Citizen Sleuths have been analyzing particles found on the clip-on-tie that Cooper left behind after he hijacked a Northwest Orient airplane in November 1971. Tom Kaye, the lead researcher of the group, told King 5 on Friday that a powerful microscope used in their investigation has found more than 100,000 particles on the JCPenny tie. He added that the group has been trying to identify where some of the particles, including Cerium, Strontium, Sulfide and titanium, may have come from. Then, David Wheatherly posted a rash of strange Sasquatch like sightings that took place in and near Fontana, California back in 1966. After the break Kyle brings up a story of tragedy known today as "The Lost Franklin Expedition".  The HMS Terror and Franklin’s flagship, HMS Erebus, were abandoned in heavy sea ice far to the north of the eventual wreck site in 1848, during the Royal Navy explorer’s doomed attempt to complete the Northwest Passage. All 129 men on the Franklin expedition died, in the worst disaster to hit Britain’s Royal Navy in its long history of polar exploration. Search parties continued to look for the ships for 11 years after they disappeared, but found no trace, and the fate of the missing men remained an enigma that tantalized generations of historians, archaeologists and adventurers.
