About This Book

A passenger steamship sails into Arctic waters carrying a diverse crowd and scientific minds; unusually light ice opens the possibility of a detour to study mysterious glacier avalanches along the eastern coast. The voyage shifts into survival as fog and shifting ice bring disaster and a wreck, after which small groups struggle through polar night, storms, predators, and remote outposts. The narrative alternates scenes of maritime travel and scientific curiosity with tense episodes of rescue, expeditions across ice and tundra, and the practical use of emerging technology to communicate and persevere in an unforgiving polar environment.
