A fantastically moving story about the wreck of the Karluk and the artic explorers. Very readable and educational. Great read, as was Ernest Shackleton's "Endurance".

This is an epic tale of a ship in 6/1913, the H.M.C.S. Karluk, that embarked on the most elaborate Arctic expedition in History, with the largest scientific staff ever taken on such a journey. 6 wks. later, the ship was frozen in a massive block of ice and the leader, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, abandoned everyone on board. Drawing on the diaries of the rescued and the perished and even an interview with a living survivor the author recreates with astonishing accuracy and immediacy the ill fated voyage and the desperate attempts to find a way hoome from the icy wastes of the Artic.
