HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, part of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated Arctic expedition, became trapped in ice in the Northwest Passage in 1846. They were eventually abandoned in 1848 after being icebound for two years. The wreck of HMS Erebus was discovered in 2014 near King William Island in Canada, while HMS Terror was found in 2016, also in the vicinity of the same island.
