I think Franklin's and other expeditions before that were what we call siege technique used in mountaineering while Amundsen used Alpine style technique in all his expeditions. Coupled with his readiness to learn and accept local techniques ensured that he survived and became successful in all the two poles and in NW passage.

Westward from the Davis Strait, 'tis there 'twas said to lie
The sea-route to the Orient, for which so many died
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelsey, where his Sea of Flowers began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

As an Inuk from Nunavut,
I was blessed to be directly connected to the blood line of those who walked with the last of the Whalers in the Roes welcome sound,
George comer and John Murray specifically -
the Photos collected by Geraldine Moodie (wife of General Douglas Moodie - RCNWMP) and George Comer respectively depict my Grandfather Joe Curley's adoptive parents...
He is the third Child adopted my Angutimmarik and Shoofly,
Jon Ell, Laurent Pameolik, and Joe Qajarjuaq Curley (named for his Curley Hair)
there is a misconception that Harry Tassiuk and Angutimmarik are the same person, who historically aided the American Whaler George Comer, But Angutimmarik "Scotch Tom" was the aid of the Scottish Whaler John Murray and was the true Husband of Shoofly "Nivisannaaq" the elaboratley photographed and famous model used by Geraldine and George Both in their now Famous Photos.
I am currently working on an; Inuit History Course - and would love to use the very well done piece of Work in my Teachings.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change, that lives within the means available and works co-operatively against common threats.
Charles Darwin.
Great account by you β I really enjoyed it.
There are just some places on Earth that people should not go to unless they gain sufficient previous knowledge.

A very solid overview of the Northwest Passage, which somehow I missed until now! One small correction: The Ross Expedition of 1829-33 (at @16:30) was actually led by Sir John Ross, who had led the 1818 expedition. Sir James Ross, his nephew, was actually his second in command on the expedition. John would gain a knighthood out of the expedition; James, his step to post captain. James Ross would later lead famous expeditions of his own to both the Antarctic and Arctic - and this often leads to confusion with those of his uncle.
