Requests:  0 Summary:  In August 1897 young Belgian commandant Adrien de Gerlache set sail for a three-year expedition aboard the good ship Belgica with dreams of glory. His destination was the uncharted end of the earth: the icy continent of Antarctica. After a series of costly setbacks the commandant faced two bad options: turn back in defeat and spare his men the devastating Antarctic winter, or recklessly chase fame by sailing deeper into the freezing waters. Sanction tells the harrowing true survival story of an expedition that went terribly awry, of the ship stuck fast in the icy hold of the Bellingshausen Sea, the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 919.8904 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 919.8904 Sancton Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 919.8904 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 919.8904 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
