The book was written by Euphemia Vale Blake and originally published in 1874. The book details Captain Tyson’s expedition to the Arctic in search of whales in 1871. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when their ship, the Polaris, gets trapped in the ice and begins to drift aimlessly. The crew is forced to abandon the ship and take refuge on an ice floe, where they are left to fend for themselves in the harsh Arctic environment.The book describes the crew’s struggles to survive on the ice floe, including their efforts to find food and shelter, as well as their encounters with dangerous wildlife. The crew eventually splits into two groups, with Captain Tyson leading one group and another crew member, William Morton, leading the other.Despite the many challenges they face, the crew manages to survive for several months on the ice floe before being rescued by a passing ship. The book is a gripping account of one of the most incredible survival stories in Arctic history, and provides a fascinating insight into the harsh realities of life in the frozen wilderness.Containing Captain George E.
