For readers of Madhouse at the End of the Earth, Endurance, and
other seafaring adventure stories comes a thrilling account of a
21st-century Arctic mission. " A contemporary classic!"-Ken
McGoogan, author of Fatal Passage "Show-stopping." -Publisher's
Weekly STARRED Review The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time
vividly describes one year aboard the Polarstern, a powerful
ice-breaker ship that journeyed deep into the Arctic in 2019,
carrying over 100 scientists and crew known as the MOSAiC
Expedition. Hailing from across the world, they would become the
largest expedition to ever survive a polar winter. Their purpose?
To understand - and predict - the impacts of climate change on the
Arctic. Written by the expedition's leader, the renowned
atmospheric scientist Markus Rex, this page-turner reads like a
captain's log of daily life aboard the Polarstern. Living in one of
the most remote, dangerous, and electrifying places on earth, Rex
describes incredible sights: polar bears playing with scientific
equipment, Christmas parties in the bitter cold, frostbitten
scientists, and hair-raising storms that threaten to break the
Polarstern's cables and send it flying across the ice. He also
reveals breathtaking science from deep inside the sea ice. Filled
with sobering, heart-warming, and bone-chilling moments, The
Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time is a testament to Rex's
extraordinary drive to save a precious ecosystem. It's also an ode
to a place that has beguiled sailors and explorers for centuries.
