From Franklinova expedice
This web is mainly in the Czech language. It is a strange Slavic language, spoken in the Czech Republic. :-)
There are many websites concerning the last Franklin expedition in English. You can find links to a lot of them below (under construction).
There is online map of the Franklin expedition created by the author of this website. Very rarely I publish texts in English on Blogspot.
Any comments, questions and suggestions in English are welcomed at info(at)franklinova-expedice.cz
Useful links
There are few links: much more to come in the near future.
