Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the perilous world of 19th century whaling in the Arctic, a time when the icy seas were a source of both wonder and danger. The author recounts the harrowing experiences of three whaling ships - the Viewforth, the Jane, and the Middleton - caught in the unforgiving grip of the Arctic ice during the winter of 1835. Through a first-hand journal, we experience the extreme hardship, the loss of life, and the remarkable resilience of the men trapped in this desolate landscape. The chilling description of the relentless cold, the threat of starvation, and the ever-present danger of the ice offer a stark reminder of the harsh reality faced by sailors in this unforgiving environment. Yet, alongside these perils, the book also captures moments of profound beauty in the natural world, as the author marvels at the aurora borealis, the vast ice fields, and the unexpected wildlife encounters. Beyond the thrilling adventure, this book offers a powerful glimpse into the human spirit, highlighting the importance of faith, resilience, and the bonds of camaraderie in the face of adversity. The author's meticulous account provides a unique perspective on the challenges of Arctic exploration and the human cost of pursuit of this industry in a bygone era.
