Description

On September 16th, 1952, six members of an expedition stood at the edge of history, seven hundred miles from the pole and eight thousand feet up in the Greenland ice-cap. They were the only humans for hundreds of miles, with supplies flown in by plane, but on this fateful day their supply plane crashed, leaving them stranded without adequate clothing or limited supplies as winter descended.

Their survival was a testament to human endurance, and the international community responded with one of the most remarkable rescue missions in history. Ian Mackersey's account of this incredible story is a gripping true tale that reveals the privations and hardships faced by those who risked everything to survive on the ice.
