The harrowing, survival story of an early polar expedition that went terribly wrong, with the ship frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter. In August 1897, the Belgica set sail to reach the South Pole, but became stuck in the ice of the Bellinghausen Sea. Drawing on first-hand crew diaries and journals, Julian Sancton unfolds an epic tale of adventure, madness, and the desperate escape planned by Dr. Frederick Cook and Roald Amundsen.
