Four centuries of men walking into the ice, and someone finally counting the cost. Helen Wright's history of Arctic exploration runs from the earliest search for a northern passage through Franklin's disappearance to the race for the pole, marshalling voyage after voyage into one long, stubborn, expensive story. The north as a project, and what it did to everyone who took it on.
