c2009., Viking Canada Call No: 910.9163 W723a Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY. For centuries British navigators dreamt of finding the Northwest Passage - the route over the top of North America that would open up the fabulous wealth of Asia to British merchants. We know now that, while several such passages exist, during the period of the search by sailing vessels they were choked by impassable ice. But this knowledge was slowly won, as expedition after expedition, under the most terrible conditions, slowly filled in their patchy and sometimes fatally misleading charts. "Arctic Labyrinth" tells this extraordinary story with great skill and brilliance. Williams' book is both an important work of exploration and naval history, and a remarkable study in human delusion and fortitude.
