"This book tells for the first time the full story of the Karluk, the leading ship of Stefansson's Arctic Expedition of 1913-18 which was crushed and sunk in ice almost before the expedition had properly begun. The ship's crew of twenty-five were left stranded on the Arctic ice while their leader continued his northern exploration, not returning for five years. The almost incredible story of their nightmare struggle for survival in the face of ignorance, lack of leadershipand the appalling Arctic conditions is told by the magnetician and meteorologist of the expedition, William Laird McKinlay, a Scottish schoolteacher then twenty-five years old.
