About This Book

A young volunteer recounts his selection to join a famed polar leader's final expedition and the voyage that follows, blending shipboard life, camaraderie, and practical duties with vivid accounts of ports of call and wildlife. The narrative tracks the voyage through temperate stops, stormy seas, and increasing pack ice, describes the leader's death and the assumption of command by a deputy, and chronicles the ship's struggle among ice, landfalls on remote islands, and eventual return. Interwoven are impressions of Antarctic landscapes, shipboard routines, aerial and scientific observations, and the resilience and resourcefulness of crew facing harsh polar conditions.
