A polar expedition. A suspicious death. A body that spoke almost a century too late.

In 1871, Charles Francis Hall returned to the American polar steamer Polaris after a grueling Arctic sledge journey near Thank God Harbor in northwest Greenland. He had spent years chasing the North, learning from Inuit communities, and building himself into one of the most determined figures in Arctic exploration history. Within hours of his return, he fell violently ill. During the ordeal that followed, Hall accused members of his own expedition-especially physician and scientist Emil Bessels-of poisoning him.
