The Frozen Deep was written by Collins during 1856, although conceived, cast and revised by Dickens. It was based on the ill-fated 1845 Franklin expedition to discover the Northwest Passage. Dickens had published several articles in Household Words rebutting the charge of cannibalism (later proved to be true) made by John Rae in 1854.

Richard Wardour rouses himself from his thoughts—looks at the still white face beneath him—and places his hand on Frank’s heart.
