This is a great song and I appreciate the vid, but why are all the photos from the Shackleton expedition, if the song is about J. Torrington, who was part of an earlier Franklin expedition?
@quinnhk Artistic/historical license :) This is a tribute to the "Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration". The photos are not limited to Shackleton's expeditions. JT's 'Frozen Man' just struck me as very fitting for the theme (I also considered using Al Stewart's 'Antarctica').
man i just love this song as soon as i heard it its was more than music to me then i just researched him and is was a good reason to write this song it so great even tho
@Bevoe The story is one of the legends of the Arctic - the Franklin Expedition of 1845. 129 men died and two ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror vanished... Among the few remnants of the expedition were three graves on Beechey Island. In the 1980's the bodies of the dead sailors were exumed and studied. Some of the pictures of the dead found their way into the press - what the song is about....
@Alex38306@Bevoe And the video/slideshow itself is a tribute to the "Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration' in general (1897-1922) - with a special focus on the expeditions of Ernest Shackleton. James Taylor's 'Frozen Man' just seemed an appropriate song for such a theme :)

What is the story behind this video. Arctic explorers? Did they all freeze to death?

Wonderful tune. Intriguing story, and, of course, in the news recently. I really like the version from the "one man band" album.
