Locked in Ice: Nansen's Daring Quest for the North Pole by Peter Lourie

4.0

Gripping story of a expedition that I knew nothing about. It's a sign of its quality that I kept annoying my companions by telling them snippits from what I was reading.

It's cool that no one died, although since Nansen dashed off halfway through I'm not sure he gets all the credit.

I wished the source notes were more closely tied to the text so I'd know where to go to follow up on stuff. The pictures were well done -- mostly original so not in color but large enough and bright enough that I could see what was going on. I liked seeing the "staged" one -- instragraming back in the 1800s!
