They soon learn that these two men have an unexpected link - a hidden share in one of the greatest enduring mysteries of polar exploration.In a feat of extraordinary scope and ambition, Ed O'Loughlin moves between a frozen present and an-ever thawing past, and from the minds of two present-day wanderers to the lives some of polar history's most enigmatic figures.
