In the Kingdom of Ice tells the true story of the USS Jeannette’s expedition to the North Pole during the late 1800s. Author Hampton Sides recounts how newspaper magnate James Gordon Bennett funded an official U.S. naval mission, placing young captain George Washington De Long in command of a 32-man crew. Driven by national ambition and the era’s obsession with reaching the unmapped Arctic, the Jeannette departed San Francisco in 1879. What followed was a harrowing voyage into uncharted waters where the ship became trapped in pack ice, leading to a desperate struggle for survival.

This audiobook CD presents Sides’ gripping account of polar exploration and human endurance during the Gilded Age. Discover the real events behind one of history’s most perilous Arctic journeys through this engaging narration, and own a piece of this remarkable historical narrative on used physical media.
