The narrative details Kane’s experiences as the commander of the Second Grinnell Expedition, sent to find the ill-fated Sir John Franklin and his crew who disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage. The book explores themes of perseverance, the challenges of Arctic exploration, and the personal and collective trials faced by Kane and his crew. At the start of the account, Kane outlines the mission's origins, including Franklin's earlier expedition and the ensuing search efforts sparked by the mystery of his disappearance.
