Prof. Robert Park discusses HMS Terror discovery

Anthropology professor Robert Park has spent years working with the Government of Nunavut investigating and documenting the Franklin Expedition sites on land in Canada's high arctic. Two years ago he played a key role in the historic discovery of one of Franklin's fated ships, the HMS Erebus. Last month, the second ship, the HMS Terror, was discovered. Here Professor Park speaks with CBC's Bob McDonald on Quirks and Quarks about the critical role of Inuit in the discovery, and what the Terror may reveal.
