About This Book

An action-filled maritime narrative following a whaling schooner's crew and two young apprentices as they sail into frozen polar seas, pursuing whales and other marine game. The book alternates vivid descriptions of ice, glaciers, and storm-swept decks with episodic hunts for narwhal and walrus, dangerous encounters on icebergs, and moments of being trapped by the cold. Shipboard routine, seamanship, and resourceful rescues interweave with personal tales told by seasoned sailors, leading to a thaw and a final southward voyage after an Arctic winter and communal celebrations.
