Descripción

At just 16, Ballantyne ventured to Canada, immersing himself in the rugged life of the Hudsons Bay Company for six years. He believed in the power of firsthand experience, crafting vivid narratives that reflect the harsh realities of Arctic exploration. In this gripping account, he captures the struggles of a crew forced to endure the brutal winter, their encounters with Eskimos and bears, and the relentless battle against disease. Fast in the Ice offers a poignant glimpse into the resilience of those who braved the frozen north, revealing the challenges and triumphs of a bygone era. (summary by Esther, adapted from Wikipedia)
