I listened to the audiobook of that this past summer and enjoyed it, though not as much as Blood and Thunder by the same author. Another good book about the Arctic is Fridtjof Nansen's Farthest North. It's old enough to escape the long tentacles of copyright, so the e-book is free. Volume II is the good part, and his discussion of food and other provisions is also interesting.susanjoypaul wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:56 am If you're looking for more polar adventure, I'm in the middle of In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette right now and it's pretty great.
I'm currently enjoying Miriam (O'Brian) Underhill's Give Me the Hills, about her mountaineering exploits in the Alps and Western States, written in engaging and self-deprecating style.
