About This Book

A first-person narrative recounts the planning and outfitting of a polar expedition and the departure across northern seas. The ship becomes locked in pack ice and begins a prolonged drift, forcing the crew to adapt to confinement and extreme cold. Daily life aboard is described in detail, covering routines, scientific observations, maintenance, and the handling of sled dogs. Seasonal changes reshape operations, with spring and summer devoted to hunting, short exploratory outings, and careful measurements. The account culminates in a deliberate over-ice journey by the author and a companion that tests navigation, endurance, and survival on the polar ice.
