520    "The true, harrowing story of the ill-fated 1913 Canadian 
       Arctic Expedition and the two men who came to define it. 
       In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk
       departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. At the helm was 
       Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world's greatest 
       living ice navigator. The expedition's visionary leader 
       was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson 
       hungry for fame. Just six weeks after the Karluk departed,
       giant ice floes closed in around her. As the ship became 
       icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and 
       struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting
       trip. Most on board would never see him again. Twenty-two 
       men and an Inuit woman with two small daughters now stood 
       on a mile-square ice floe, their ship and their original 
       leader gone. Under Bartlett's leadership they built make-
       shift shelters, surviving the freezing darkness of Polar 
       night. Captain Bartlett now made a difficult and 
       courageous decision. He would take one of the young Inuit 
       hunters and attempt a 1000-mile journey to save the 
       shipwrecked survivors. It was their only hope. Set against
       the backdrop of the Titanic disaster and World War I, 
       filled with heroism, tragedy, and scientific discovery, 
       Buddy Levy's Empire of Ice and Stone tells the story of 
       two men and two distinctively different brands of 
       leadership: one selfless, one self-serving, and how they 
       would forever be bound by one of the most audacious and 
       disastrous expeditions in polar history, considered the 
       last great voyage of The Heroic Age of Discovery"--
