LABYRINTH OF ICE The Triumphant and Tragic Greely Polar Expedition

Listen to this if you want to hear a narrator at the top of his game recount a fascinating--and at times disturbing--true story of adventure, disaster, discovery, cannibalism, and more. Will Damron makes Levy's fascinating account of the Greely (Polar) Expedition come to life. The expedition was a late-nineteenth-century attempt to reach the North Pole. Over the course of two years, the crew conducted scientific research, went on rescue missions, and fought to stay alive. Damron captures the essence of life on a ship buffeted by icebergs, the brutal cold of the arctic, the awe of discovery, and the price some will pay for fame. This is a harrowing adventure story and a great listen. J.P.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2020]
