Several explorers attempted to find a route to the North Pole, but none succeeded. Bound by Ice follows the journey of George Washington De Long and the crew of the USSJeannette, who departed San Francisco in the summer of 1879 hoping to find a route to the North Pole. However, in mid-September the ship became locked in ice north of Siberia and drifted for nearly two years before it was crushed by ice and sank. De Long and his men escaped the ship and began a treacherous journey in extreme polar conditions in an attempt to reach civilization. Many, including De Long, did not survive. A riveting true-life adventure, Bound by Ice includes excerpts from De Long's extensive journals, which were recovered with his body; newspapers from the time; and photos and sketches by the men on the expedition. 650 0 $a Discoveries in geography $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a North Pole $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Arctic regions $x Discovery and exploration $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Polar regions $x Discovery and exploration $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Wallace, Rich, $e author. 941 $a 17 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014417.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207013252.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909044859.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20220720011051.0 952 $l CVPA586 $d 20220505010544.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722054822.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806015335.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717034426.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190423014912.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107064050.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006112243.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20180410013521.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20180313012359.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20180307031816.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180209010238.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20171212021939.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20171017013619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C450E968A99211E7A347A92897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
