Franklin expedition: DNA test identifies member of 1845 Arctic voyage

A member of a doomed 1845 Arctic voyage has been identified by researchers who matched his DNA with that of a living descendant from South Africa.

Tests confirmed skeletal remains recovered from an island in northern Canada were those of John Gregory.

Gregory was an officer on British explorer Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to chart the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic.
