About The Ice Master
Drawing on survivors’ diaries, Jennifer Niven reconstructs the 1913 voyage of the Karluk, which became trapped in Arctic ice and left its crew fighting for survival. As the stranded party endured months of hunger, cold and division, Captain Robert Bartlett crossed the ice and travelled through Siberia to seek rescue.
