'An epic tale of exploration, daring and tragedy told by a fine
historian - and a wonderful writer' Peter Frankopan, author of the
bestselling The Silk Roads. 'The name of William Barents isn't that
familiar to us these days...but this enthralling, elemental and
literally spine-chilling epic of courage and endurance should
change all that' Roger Alton, Daily Mail A dramatic and compelling
account of survival against the odds from the golden Age of
Exploration. The human story has always been one of perseverance -
often against remarkable odds. The most astonishing survival tale
of all might be that of sixteenth-century Dutch explorer William
Barents and his crew, who ventured further North than any Europeans
before and, on their third polar expedition, lost their ship off
the frozen coast of Nova Zembla to unforgiving ice. The men would
spend the next year fighting off ravenous polar bears, gnawing
hunger and endless winter. In Icebound, Andrea Pitzer masterfully
combines a gripping tale of survival with a sweeping history of the
great age of Exploration - a time of hope, adventure and seemingly
unlimited geographic frontiers.
