In the kingdom of ice

Book • 2014

In 'In the Kingdom of Ice', Hampton Sides recounts the true story of the USS Jeannette's disastrous 1879-1881 polar voyage.

Led by Commander George W. De Long, the expedition aimed to reach the North Pole but ended in tragedy when the ship was crushed by ice.

The crew's struggle for survival in the harsh Arctic environment is a testament to human endurance and determination.

The book explores the historical context, including the theories of August Petermann and the sponsorship by James Gordon Bennett Jr.
