Om boken
A riveting account of one of the most ambitious - and disastrous - Arctic expeditions ever mounted. The Karluk set off in September 1913 and was soon imprisoned in ice, abandoned by the expedition's leader. For five bitter months those left behind eked out an existence, until forced to leave the ship when she was crushed by powerful ice floes. For two more months, the ship's company lived on the polar icepack. Finally, the captain set out to walk 700 arduous miles over the frozen Arctic to search for help, reaching civilization in May 1914, and the handful of survivors were finally rescued by a tiny schooner in the September. An extraordinary story, vividly told.
