Trial by Ice: The True Story of Murder and Survival… por Richard Parry
Highly recommend this book as an accompaniment to the "Kingdom of Ice".
This tells the story of the American Polaris expedition to the north pole in 1871.
The expedition was a total failure, and it was really doomed from the start because of poorly defined responsibilities, and rivalry between the crew members.
The most gripping part is the story of the voyage home after they had given up on reaching the pole. In particular, the survival of Tyson's group on the ice floe is both harrowing and remarkable. If it wasn't for the Inuit with them on the ice, they would surely have died.
When you read the list of disasters caused by bad decisions, stupidity and bad luck, it's surprising that only one person died.
No one comes out of this looking good. There's no glory and no heroes.… (más)

Trial by Ice is an incredible adventure that pits men against the natural elements and their own fragile human nature. Beyond this, it is also an authentic murder mystery that, in its time, led to accusations of foul play and a dramatic, unresolved investigation. Now, more than a century after the crime was committed, the author draws on recent evidence to recount the amazing story of the killer who boarded the Polaris–and got away with murder.
