Join us as we explore the mystery of his disappearance and the disturbing final maps that hinted at the horrifying truth he died to protect. Was he driven mad by what he saw? Or did the sea claim him as a price for his murderous acts? This is a story of ambition, madness, and the chilling consequences of pushing the boundaries of knowledge too far. Tune in and discover why sometimes, it's better to leave some waters uncharted.
