In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette
Description
In the summer of 1879, the USS Jeannette embarked on an ambitious expedition from San Francisco, driven by the fervent desire to be the first to reach the North Pole. Captain George Washington De Long and his crew ventured into the treacherous, uncharted Arctic, a realm of breathtaking beauty and unforgiving danger. Their journey took a catastrophic turn when the ship became trapped and ultimately crushed by impenetrable ice, leaving the men stranded a thousand miles from civilization in the desolate Siberian Arctic. What followed was a harrowing ordeal of survival against unimaginable odds, battling starvation, madness, and the brutal elements in a desperate fight for life across the frozen expanse.
