The Guardian – Now aged 72, Grenier has been diving for decades in sub-zero waters – almost dying once when his equipment snagged on the wreck of a supply ship from one of the rescue missions – and searching the rocky shoreline with Inuit guides when the winter ice recedes. After studying 19th-century Inuit oral testimony – which included eyewitness descriptions of starving, exhausted men staggering through the snow without condescending to ask local people how they survived in such a wilderness – he believes the 19th-century official accounts that all the surviving expedition members abandoned their ice-locked ships are wrong. He believes both ships drifted southwards, with at least two crew remaining until the final destruction of their vessels. One broke up, but Inuit hunters arriving at their summer hunting grounds reported discovering another ship floating in fresh ice in a cove.
