This true account of the doomed Belgica expedition follows a pioneering Antarctic voyage as it tips from ambition into entrapment, isolation, and psychological strain. Julian Sancton tells it with the pressure of a survival narrative, but what lingers is not only the ice—it is the unraveling of men asked to endure too much for too long. Vivid, unnerving, and historically rich, it belongs to that shelf where exploration and human extremity meet.
