Description

Published by Head of Zeus, 2014, 1st UK Edition, D/w, Fine.   In 1897, the 3 members of engineer Salomon August Andree’s Balloon Expedition set off for the North Pole but after 3 days they crash landed and disappeared, never to return.  In 1930, the men’s bodies and equipment were found beneath the snow and ice of a remote glacier – they had enough food, clothing and ammunition to survive, so why did they die?   For 15 years, Bea Uusma studied and researched this issue – this book is the result.
