About This Book

The narrative follows young men who become stranded after a maritime disaster and struggle for survival in a remote, frozen region. They endure shipwreck and abandonment, drift on an ice pan, confront hunger and life-threatening encounters with wildlife, and engage in desperate fights and narrow escapes. After finding temporary shelter and aid from local people, they labor through winter, undertake a long snowshoe journey, traverse fur-trader routes, and finally reach a distant settlement where difficult news and new opportunities converge and their fortunes begin to change.
