Set against the backdrop of the Arctic in 1881, the narrative follows the Thomas Corwin's perilous journey to locate Captain G. W. De Long and the missing ship Jeannette. Although the ship remains undiscovered, John Muir's vivid account brings to life the harsh beauty of ice-filled waters, unique Arctic flora, stunning glaciers, and the indigenous cultures encountered along the way. His exploration reveals both the allure and the enigma of America's remote northern frontier.
