Steve Young
A sturdy sixteen-year-old, Steve Young, joins Captain Marsham and a small party preparing a northern voyage from a Norwegian fiord to search for a disappeared schooner and its captain, who is the boy’s uncle. The group confronts the dangers of polar ice even as they recruit seasoned Norwegian hands and outfit a steamer called Hvalross; a medically minded companion brings scientific curiosity to the enterprise. Early chapters concentrate on port-side preparations, debates over risk and duty, and the practical arrangements and personalities that establish the expedition’s purpose and tone.
