Mad House At The End of The Earth

📚 Madhouse at the End of the Earth by Julian Sancton

In 1897, the Belgica sails for Antarctica with a crew eager to explore one of the world’s last great frontiers. But when the ship becomes trapped in sea ice, their expedition turns into a desperate struggle to survive the Antarctic winter.

Months of darkness, illness, and isolation push the men to their limits. With rescue out of reach, they must find a way to preserve their health—and their hope—until escape becomes possible.

Drawing on the crew’s journals and the ship’s records, Julian Sancton brings this harrowing true story to life. A gripping pick for readers who enjoy polar exploration, maritime history, and survival against extraordinary odds. (books.google.com, penguinrandomhousehighereducation.com)
