The narrative likely covers themes of exploration, survival in extreme conditions, and interactions with Indigenous peoples. At the startof the journey, Franklin describes the establishment of Fort Enterprise, detailing the construction and challenges faced by his team as they prepare for the harsh winter ahead.
