In 1845, an expedition under the command of experienced polar explorer Sir John Franklin set out on the ships "Terror" and "Erebus" to the northern coast of Canada in search of the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean - and disappeared without a trace. The search for her dragged on for several decades, information about her fate was collected literally in bits and pieces, and so far the picture of what happened is mottled with white spots - although in the fall of 2014 there was a sensation: after more than a century and a half of searching "Erebus" was finally found, and scientists have already begun studying the remains of the ship, perfectly preserved in polar waters; well, two years later, in the fall of 2016, with the help of a remote-controlled mini-submarine was found and "Terror". But a few years before this amazing discovery, Dan Simmons, the famous author of "Hyperion" and "Endymion", "Ilion" and "Olympus", "Song of Kali" and "Dark Game of Death", offered his version of events: the main threat to the expedition was not the crushing embrace of ice, not the cold with a blizzard and not spoiled canned food - but an unknown giant monster, as if woven from snow and polar darkness. In February 2018, a 10-episode adaptation of The Terror, produced by Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions, hit TV screens. The director was Edward Berger, Simmons himself participated in the work on the script, the main roles were performed by Jared Harris, Ciaran Hynds, Tobias Menzies, Paul Redi.
