Model for Afar (Terror Bay, 14 July 1789), 2021

The specified location is Terror Bay, in the Canadian Arctic, the date coincides with the Storming of the Bastille, considered a defining moment of the French Revolution. To this day, July 14 is a national holiday in France.

The bay in the Arctic was named Terror Bay in 1910. Coincidentally a shipwreck of the HMS Terror, lost in 1848, was found here in 2016. The bay was one of a series of landmarks along the waters explored by Franklin's lost expedition between 1845 and 1848. The more than 400 years search for a Northwest Passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans was a near mythic quest, with far-reaching consequences for the history of colonialization, commerce, and, today, climate change.
