About this title: This chronicle of the aftermath of a 1913 shipwreck in Siberia tells of the struggle of 24 men, women, and children to survive in open nature and the intense rivalries that developed among them. Some of those marooned were eventually rescued after the captain left the camp and trekked across the wilderness for help.

"I read this book in grade 11 english and never got over the dissapointment of how dull and dry it was. Captian Bob was from my home town and is one of my personal heros. He went to the north pole with Perry! he saved the lives of all those people on the karluk! he starred in hollywood movies! he helped survey the artic for the US military in WW2! the man was awesome but the book is sooooo dull and dreary. Given the source material this book should have been so much better."
"I have read this book at least 10 times and learn something new from it every time. This book, in combination with Krakauer's "Into the Wild", was the starting point for my love affair with historical non-fiction. "The Ice Master" is a intimate telling of adventure, mental and physical exhaustion, and the sheer hardiness of the human soul."
"I read this when I was into Shackelton and other explorers, and I thought it was great. It was amazing to read about how different people react to adverse situations."
