Alien and wild, the far north has the powerful allure of the unknown, a call explorers have heeded for hundreds of years.First came the search for a route through the polar icecap to the rich lands of Asia.The Northeast and Northwest Passages were painstakingly traced.Then the race was on to one of the remotest points on earth - the North Pole.The desire for knowledge, wealth, adventure, and fame fueled expedition after expedition.Some Arctic explorers met with success and celebrity; others found madness and death; a few simply disappeared.Into the Ice, graced with majestic acrylic paintings, traces the slow unveiling of the secrets of this mysterious and forbidding frozen region.
