Icebound was a truly remarkable story about the expeditions to the polar regions. William Barents was a renowned explorer, and the amazing journey and fight for survival that his crew undertook were astounding, heartbreaking, and captivating.
This is one of those books that draws you in, laying out in detail the dangers of the voyage, the uncertainties of the time, and the amazing feats that were undertaken to explore, chart, and share with the known world at the time the amazing discoveries along the way. I had a hard time setting this one down, and it is one that I hope to read again in the future - it was that good! History-lovers should definitely add this book to their lists, they are in for a treat with this book!
