In 1881, US Army Lieutenant Adolphus Greely and his crew set sail for the Arctic. Their mission was to collect scientific data on the polar climate. They also had a second, secret goal: to achieve Furthest North, the record for highest latitude reached by explorers. But when resupply ships failed to arrive two years in a row, the team's dreams of glory turned into a nightmarish fight for survival in one of the most remote and harshest regions in the world. Told through a gripping, full-colour graphic novel format, this Deadly Expeditions tale transports readers back in time to uncover what became of the stranded voyage., bringing history to life for even the most reluctant and struggling readers.
