This is one of my favorite nonfiction books of all times. In 1879 captain DeLong sails a ship with 37 men to the North Pole at a time when exploration Fever was big. The ship gets stuck in the ice until it finally sinks, so the men must set off to try to get back to safety. This is one of the greatest stories of survival, tenacity, and courage as the men battle frostbite, snowblindness, and each other. #wevegottogetoutofthisplace #marchintooz
