of
Realm of Ice and Sky: Triumph, Tragedy, and History's Greatest Arctic Rescue:
"I was stunned. I never expected to read about an Arctic exploration team blessed by the Pope and funded by Mussolini. How did Fascist Italy ever get involved in such an endeavor?
It was their state-of-the-art airship that was the attraction. After a h" Read more of this review » |

of
Realm of Ice and Sky: Triumph, Tragedy, and History's Greatest Arctic Rescue:
"Who would have believed that a book of this topic would be so very readable and kind of riveting?
The reality is epic, but the manner of telling drew me in even better than a Cussler novel. And it's all true and the research is very well documented, e" Read more of this review » |

"I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I am not normally excited to read about arctic exploration or airships but this book was a pleasant surprise. It was written very clearly and you really learned to care about the stories being told. Excellent "

of
Realm of Ice and Sky: Triumph, Tragedy, and History's Greatest Arctic Rescue:
"First, I must genuinely thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of Buddy Levy’s gripping epic “The Realm of Ice and Sky.” Always keeping up with his latest works, I was honored to read the next incomprehensible story of Artic exploration. "

“...fortune always favors the bold.”
― Conquistador: Hernán Cortés, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs
― Conquistador: Hernán Cortés, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs
“Ultimately, with ice pressing in on them from all sides, Greely had made the decision to commit the boats and men to the mercies of the floes, with the forlorn hope that tides and winds would propel them south to Cape Sabine. If that failed, they would abandon everything not essential and attempt to cross ice bridges from floe to floe until they reached land. Some of Greely’s men disagreed with him, muttering that his decisions were madness and amounted to suicide. One of the men said he feared “another Franklin disaster.” The expedition doctor scribbled furiously in his journal: “It is terrible to float in this manner, in the snow, fog, and dark. This seems to me like a nightmare in one of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories.” And in many ways, it was.”

“Just before noon on February 28, 1882, the thin outline of a glowing orb pierced the southern skyline and hung there, like a wafer pasted in the air. Though faint, the sight was glorious: It was the first time they had seen the sun in 137 days.”
