pp. 330, b/w and color photographs, “In the vastness and silence of the Arctic wastes, a man and his wife were caught like flies in amber, their 35-foot steel cutter frozen in the polar ice. After a beautiful and sometimes hair-raising voyage beyond Baffin Island and far above the ARctic Circle, Diana and Alvah Simon could go no further, and made preparations for the long Arctic night. But her father’s diagnosis of terminal cancer called Diana away–and after a dramatic evacuation by helicopter, alvah was left to survive the winter alone. This is their story: of an epic voyage, their encounters with the Inuit people, his descent into near-madenss, and Diana’s return in the spring, through harsh weather and near disaster.”
