My first audiobook of the year! This is a WILD true story about an 1897 excursion from Belgium to Antarctica, where the ship got suck in ice for a FULL YEAR. Impeccably researched, and beautifully written, it details all the difficulties, ingenious solutions, and the eventual work of freeing themselves and escaping Antarctica.  It’s amazing to see what humans can endure!
