Sir John Franklin died while searching for the Northwest Passage. His expedition, which began in 1845, aimed to find a navigable route through the Arctic. Franklin and his crew became trapped in ice, and after years of searching for them, their fate remained unknown until later discoveries of their remains and artifacts revealed the harsh conditions they faced. The expedition ultimately highlighted the challenges of Arctic exploration during that era.
