Praise
“A terrifically accessible account of this wide–eyed, extraordinarily intrepid adventurer’s thrilling and chilling exploits.” —Kirkus
“McGoogan’s fascinating biography focuses on a neglected figure from the early era of polar exploration . . . With his access to previously unknown Kane logbooks, McGoogan makes an impressive case for the bravery and importance of the explorer who first identified the Greenland ice sheet.” —Publishers Weekly
“An incredible and frightening journey.” —Booklist
“McGoogan frames this exciting biography in terms of the mythological concepts of the hero and the transformative quest. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
