圖書描述

New York Times bestselling author Hampton Sides returns with a white-knuckle tale of polar exploration and survival in the Gilded Age

In the late nineteenth century, people were obsessed by one of the last unmapped areas of the globe: the North Pole. No one knew what existed beyond the fortress of ice rimming the northern oceans, although theories abounded. The foremost cartographer in the world, a German named August Petermann, believed that warm currents sustained a verdant island at the top of the world. National glory would fall to whoever could plant his flag upon its shores.

James Gordon Bennett, the eccentric and stupendously wealthy owner of The New York Herald, had recently captured the world's attention by dispatching Stanley to Africa to find Dr. Livingstone. Now he was keen to re-create that sensation on an even more epic scale. So he funded an official U.S. naval expedition to reach the Pole, choosing as its captain a young officer named George Washington De Long, who had gained fame for a rescue operation off the coast of Greenland. De Long led a team of 32 men deep into uncharted Arctic waters, carrying the aspirations of a young country burning to become a world power. On July 8, 1879, the USS Jeannette set sail from San Francisco to cheering crowds in the grip of "Arctic Fever."

The ship sailed into uncharted seas, but soon was trapped in pack ice. Two years into the harrowing voyage, the hull was breached. Amid the rush of water and the shrieks of breaking wooden boards, the crew abandoned the ship. Less than an hour later, the Jeannette sank to the bottom,and the men found themselves marooned a thousand miles north of Siberia with only the barest supplies. Thus began their long march across the endless ice—a frozen hell in the most lonesome corner of the world. Facing everything from snow blindness and polar bears to ferocious storms and frosty labyrinths, the expedition battled madness and starvation as they desperately strove for survival.

With twists and turns worthy of a thriller, In The Kingdom of Ice is a spellbinding tale of heroism and determination in the most unforgiving territory on Earth.

震撼

評分

Outstanding! Sounds like a brief account of the Evolution history of human beings: they explored, failed, suffered, strived, persisted and succeeded. Again, I felt ashamed about myself while reading this book.

評分

"Sacrifice is nobler than ease, unselfish life is consummated in lonely death, and the world is richer by the gift of suffering." It may have been recorded as a failed expedition but was, is and will surely be always remembered as a victory of true humanity against the scariest ordeal in all its many forms.

前麵四分之一有點冗長,寫瞭很多Bennett和他爹的故事。看瞭好久極地考察都沒有要開始,差點放棄。後麵非常好看扣人心弦。因為題目是:a terrible voyage,早也知道不可能完璧歸趙好好地迴來,但心裏還是抱著希望至少船長能活著。看完對探險隊十分敬佩。我要是周末去爬個山12mile迴傢都要纍得躺平,探險隊迎著暴風雪穿著半濕的衣物,在時而齊腰深的冰水裏負重走12英裏,吃著罐頭食品,大半年沒澡可以洗,居然還可以鬥誌昂揚!也很感動俄羅斯當地原住民的善良,不僅救他們與水火,還與這些不速之客分享難得的食物。難說更現代的社會會不會更心無芥蒂?人類對未知的好奇真是瞭不得啊,想想這是蒸汽機剛剛發明的年代,一百多年以前...

突然就想为这本书写点什么。也算是补偿一点愧疚感吧。 记得我还在做图书版权的时候,遇到过一本书,具体内容记不太清楚了,大致是写在1909年,人类世界同时发生了永闯世界三极的事情。当时开选题会的时候,主管曾问我们,这样的书读者群是哪些呢?又会有什么人愿意读这本书呢?...

基于一个想像的地理空间,计划出一条北极探险路线,注定永远也达不到目的地。珍妮特号于1879年8月27号进入白令海峡附近的开放海域,9月7号就在北冰洋被浮冰困住,然后随着浮冰向西北方向飘了21个月,船毁沉没后,所有船员踏上了1000多英里的极地求生之路。这次远征并未取得重大...
