This New York Times bestseller offers a white-knuckle tale of polar exploration and survival in the Gilded Age.

In 1879 the U.S.S. Jeannette set sail from San Francisco to cheering crowds and a frenzy of publicity. The ship and its crew, captained by the heroic George De Long, were heading for glory and the last unmapped area of the globe: the North Pole. But it was not long before the Jeannette was trapped in crushing pack ice. Amid the rush of water and the shrieks of breaking wooden boards, the crew found themselves marooned a thousand miles north of Siberia with only the barest supplies. Facing a seemingly impossible trek across the endless ice, they battled everything from snow blindness and polar bears to ferocious storms and starvation, in their desperate struggle for survival.
