Sammy Kogvik and the wreck of HMS Terror
In September 2016 HMS Terror was found intact in Terror Bay off King William Island, after Inuk Canadian Ranger Sammy Kogvik told searchers he had seen a ship's mast sticking out of the ice there years before.

The account
Kogvik had kept quiet, he said, because his companion feared bad luck from the place. The find, two years after HMS Erebus, confirmed again the value of Inuit knowledge.
