Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ice pressed in from every side, the ship's timbers groaning beneath the relentless grip of the Arctic. In the heart of the Canadian Arctic expedition of the early 20th century, a crew found themselves icebound, their fate intertwined with the frozen wilderness and the unforgiving sea. This is… a true account of polar survival, where each day brought new tests of endurance and spirit, and every decision could mean the difference between salvation and disaster.
