Tonight (Sept. 10), Mansbridge joins the team of researchers for   the lost Franklin Expedition as they reveal exclusive new details on the search.  Mansbridge is with archaeologists as they discover remnants and   bonesthought to belong to the Franklin crew. And new details and theories   are revealed about what researchers are finding on the arctic bed, and what it   may mean for the fate of the Franklin.

Tomorrow night (Sept. 11), Mansbridge travels to the tiny hamlet   of Gjoa Haven, where Inuit oral history still holds some answers that can help   unravel the mystery of the Franklin. And David Common reports on the risk of   environmental contamination in the North if shipping increases on a newly   charted Northwest Passage.

And this weekend, CBC News Network presents a one-hour   documentary—FINDING FRANKLIN WITH PETER MANSBRIDGE—Saturday, Sept. 15 at   10 p.m. ET/PT and Sunday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. ET.

“The idea of poking around in the past has always appealed to my   sense of being an amateur historian,“says Mansbridge.“Now I’ve finally had the   chance to pretend I am one, by spending a few hours with some REAL   archaeologists hunting for more evidence of the final days of the Franklin   expedition.”(Source: CBC.ca)
