I am currently reading "Empire at the Edge of the World: Endurance and Madness in the High Arctic" by Giles Milton. Published in 2026.

This is another book about arctic exploration and resulting tragedy. These books usually fascinate me.

I didn't make the connection, at first, when I started reading this book, but then I realized I'd read about this expedition before. It took me more time to figure out what I had read, and I finally know the answer to that. In 2022, I read "Empire of Ice and Stone: The Disastrous and Heroic Voyage of the Karluk" by Buddy Levy. Published in 2022. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59808184 I gave it a 5 star rating. I think I will move on to something else, as there are a lot of parallels between the two books. #books #reading
