520    "The human story has always been one of perseverance-often
       against remarkable odds. The most astonishing survival 
       tale of all might be that of 16th-century Dutch explorer 
       William Barents and his crew of sixteen, who ventured 
       farther north than any Europeans before and, on their 
       third polar exploration, lost their ship off the frozen 
       coast of Nova Zembla to unforgiving ice. The men would 
       spend the next year fighting off ravenous polar bears, 
       gnawing hunger, and endless winter. In Icebound, Andrea 
       Pitzer masterfully combines a gripping tale of survival 
       with a sweeping history of the great Age of Exploration-a 
       time of hope, adventure, and seemingly unlimited 
       geographic frontiers. At the story's center is William 
       Barents, one of the 16th century's greatest navigators 
       whose larger-than-life ambitions and obsessive quest to 
       chart a path through the deepest, most remote regions of 
       the Arctic ended in both tragedy and glory. Journalist 
       Pitzer did extensive research, learning how to use four-
       hundred-year-old navigation equipment, setting out on 
       three Arctic expeditions to retrace Barents's steps, and 
       visiting replicas of Barents's ship and cabin. "A visceral,
       thrilling account full of tantalizing surprises" (Andrea 
       Barrett, author of The Voyage of the Narwhal ), Pitzer's 
       reenactment of Barents's ill-fated journey shows us how 
       the human body can function at twenty degrees below, the 
       history of mutiny, the art of celestial navigation, and 
       the intricacies of building shelters. But above all, it 
       gives us a first-hand glimpse into the true nature of 
       human courage"--|cProvided by publisher.
