Ice Ghosts weaves together the epic story of the lost Franklin Expedition of 1845--whose two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, and their crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice--with the modern tale of the scientists, divers, and local Inuit behind the recent incredible discoveries of the wrecks. Paul Watson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was on the icebreaker that led one of the discovery expeditions, tells a fast-paced historical adventure story and reveals how a combination of faith in Inuit knowledge and the latest science yielded a discovery for the ages.

The first half of the book focused on the expedition and the historic searches. It would have benefitted from better maps that showed all of the locations mentioned in the texts as well as some expanded information on some of these searches, which must have their own epic tales to tell.

The second half of the book flowed better and was an excellent read. It got me excited about tales of arctic exploration for a month.
