Sir John Franklin (1786 – 1847) was a British explorer who served as a member of the Royal Navy.
In 1845, John led an expedition to chart and navigate the Northwest Passage. However, the ship was trapped in ice. John and his crew died from numerous causes, leaving no survivors. John's expedition later inspired the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen to lead a successful voyage to the passage from 1903 to 1906.[1]
