Description

In the summer of 1984, Anthony Dalton embarked on a close to-fatal voyage in a small open boat along the wild northwest coast of Alaska, making an attempt a solo transit of the Northwest Passage. His sea quest ran parallel to an arduous relief expedition undertaken in 1897-98, when the officers of the USA cutter Bear set out to achieve eight whaling ships that were stranded in thick ice, their crews at the verge of starvation. Both trips are depicted on this captivating adventure tale, and Dalton’s gripping description of his encounter with an icy hell explores the impossible to resist lure of risk and challenge that continues to attract adventurers to the Arctic, a spot like no other.
