Her young captain is left aboard the ship whilst the crew treks northward across the ice. How they survive the terrible conditions is the main subject of the book. There are authentic photos, so real that you feel the cold. It is a story of courage and resourcefulness which questions the validity of overfishing and whaling in general.
