Scientists have identified four sailors from the 1845 Franklin expedition using DNA analysis of skeletal remains. The study, led by Douglas Stenton of the University of Waterloo, confirmed the identities of William Orren, David Young, John Bridgens, and Harry Peglar. These identifications help piece together the tragic final days of the expedition, revealing where and how these men died. Additionally, researchers captured rare footage of life on the Arctic seafloor in a Greenlandic fjord, documenting narwhal songs and the movement of various marine organisms. AI
