In 1879, the USS Jeannette set out on a mission to explore the Arctic, but it became trapped in ice and eventually sank, leaving its crew stranded in the frozen wilderness. This book, written by one of the survivors, provides a gripping account of the harrowing ordeal, including descriptions of the crew's struggles with starvation, hypothermia, and other extreme conditions.
