Description

Few people today are familiar with the USA’s forays into arctic exploration, despite the fever pitch of enthusiasm it reached in the late 1800s. The tragic tale of the Jeannette encapsulates young America’s pioneering spirit: a scientific expedition to study the limits of the known world and discern fact from fiction even in the face of certain danger.

Beginning with a swift-yet-satisfying introduction to the major members of the expedition, Bound by Ice thoroughly immerses the reader before launching into the fateful journey of the Jeannette. At this point in history, excitement for the unknown Arctic was at an all-time high, tales of a rich continent at the top of the world abounded, and experienced ship captains were enthusiastic about playing a part in scientific discovery. As the fate of the Jeannette began to play out, however, this enthusiasm quickly turned to disaster. The trapped crew had to rely on their collective bravery and ingenuity to escape. Despite the circumstances, the focus of this book is not on the tragedy that consumed the crew, but rather on their heroism and unique talents, which allowed many of them to survive.

Publisher's Description of Bound by Ice

The bone-chilling journey of George Washington De Long and the crew of the USS Jeannette who departed California in 1879 on an ill-fated journey to the North Pole.
