The true story of the author's journey to Antarctica in a 27-foot sailing boat. Joined by the boat's young Norwegian owner and an Argentinian newlywed, he set sail with little idea of the tumultuous storms, mishaps and emergencies that loomed on a Shackleton-style voyage to the world's coldest, most dangerous and inaccessible continent.

Aside from the adventure it was to reach the Antarctic, Mercy's story is primarily about getting along (mostly not) with his shipmates. His rash choice to travel with these men is a little suspect. "Jarle had seemed competent enough in the ten minutes we had spent together" (p 31). Sure. Then there's whiney Manuel. This man wants to go home at the first sight of whitecaps or hard labor. Stating the obvious, the infighting begins immediately. I don't know about you, but I would think it a red flag to travel to the Antarctic (or anywhere) with someone who has never heard of Shackleton. ( )
