*Running Time => 10hrs.*The harrowing true survival story of
an early polar expedition that went terribly awry - with the ship
frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless,
Antarctic winter.In August 1897, 31-year-old commandant
Adrien de Gerlache set sail aboard the Belgica, fueled by a
profound sense of adventure and dreams of claiming glory for
his native Belgium. His destination was the uncharted end of
the earth: the icy continent of Antarctica. But the
commandant's plans for a three-year expedition to reach the
magnetic South Pole would be thwarted at each turn. Before
the ship cleared South America, it had already broken down,
run aground, and lost several key crew members, leaving
behind a group with dubious experience for such an ambitious
voyage.As the ship progressed into the freezing waters, the
captain had to make a choice: turn back and spare his men the
potentially devastating consequences of getting stuck, or
recklessly sail deeper into the ice pack to chase glory and
fame. He sailed on, and the Belgica soon found itself stuck fast
in the icy hold of the Antarctic continent. The ship would winter
on the ice. Plagued by a mysterious, debilitating illness and
besieged by the monotony of their days, the crew deteriorated
as their confinement in suffocating close quarters wore on and
their hope of escape dwindled daily. As winter approached the
days grew shorter, until the sun set on the magnificent polar
landscape one last time, condemning the ship's occupants to

months of quarantine in an endless night.Forged in fire and
carved by ice, Antarctica proved a formidable opponent for the
motley crew. Among them was Frederick Cook, an American
doctor - part scientist, part adventurer, part P.T. Barnum -
whose unorthodox methods delivered many of the crew from
the gruesome symptoms of scurvy and whose relentless
optimism buoyed their spirits through the long, dark polar
night. Then there was Roald Amundsen, a young Norwegian
who went on to become a storied polar explorer in his own
right, exceeding de Gerlache's wildest dreams by leading the
first expeditions to traverse the Northwest Passage and reach
the South Pole.Drawing on firsthand accounts of the Belgica's
voyage and exclusive access to the ship's logbook, Sancton
tells the tale of its long, isolated imprisonment on the ice - a
story that NASA studies today in its research on isolation for
missions to Mars. In vivid, hair-raising prose, Sancton recounts
the myriad forces that drove these men right up to and over
the brink of madness.©2021 Julian Sancton (P)2021 Random
