 | The Ice Master: The Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk by Jennifer Niven

Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.99 Can you believe that some of the survivors from the original Karluk disaster actually return to the same island where they were stranded and get stranded again? If you read her first book this will completely blow your mind. A rare sequel that is as good as the original.

 | Trial by Ice: The True Story of Murder and Survival on the 1871 Polaris Expedition by Richard Parry
Buy new: $11.90 / Used from: $0.48 A great combination of action & mystery. This is a classic example of extreme conditions bringing out the best in some and unfortunately, the worst in others. The excellent character development makes this a very enjoyable read.

 | Fatal Passage: The Story of John Rae, the Arctic Hero Time Forgot by Ken McGoogan
Buy new: $8.74 / Used from: $1.95 I was attracted to this book because Rae approaches penetrating the arctic from a completely different vantage point. He ventures through the arctic almost exclusively on foot and by using small watercraft.
