The Franklin expedition, led by Captain Sir John Franklin aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, embarked on a treacherous journey through icy waters in search of new horizons. Tragically, only three graves at Cape Riley remain as silent witnesses to their ill-fated quest.

His valiant efforts are immortalized in historical accounts like "The History of Our Country, " published in 1905. Meanwhile, nature pays homage to this renowned name with creatures such as the Franklins ground squirrel (Poliocitellus franklinii), adding an element of charm and curiosity to our world. In another realm entirely, behold the beauty tartar - a scarlet bizarre carnation that captivates with its vibrant hues.

Yet even Benjamin Franklin himself faced skepticism from esteemed institutions like Royal Society regarding his groundbreaking discoveries. Undeterred by criticism, he persevered and left an indelible mark on science and society alike.
