Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dozen women join a secret 1850s Arctic expedition—and a sensational murder trial unfolds when some of them don't come back. Eccentric Lady Jane Franklin makes an outlandish offer to adventurer Virginia Reeve: take a dozen women, trek into the Arctic, and find her husband's lost expedition. Four parties have failed to find him, and Lady Franklin wants a radical new approach: put the women in charge. A year later, Virginia stands trial for murder. Survivors of the expedition willing to publicly support her sit in the front row. There are only five. What happened out there on the ice? Set against the unforgiving backdrop of one of the world's most inhospitable locations, USA Today bestselling author Greer Macallister uses the true story of Lady Jane Franklin's tireless attempts to find her husband's lost expedition as a jumping-off point to spin a tale of bravery, intrigue, perseverance and hope.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonders of the Arctic World: A History of All the Researches and Discoveries in the Frozen Regions of the North, From the Earliest Times Paradoxical as it seems, that portion of the globe we inhabit which is most cheerless, dreary and desolate, which is farthest removed from civilization, which produces but little calculated to benefit mankind, which offers no attractions to the tourist, and which has proved the grave of many hardy spirits who have endeavored to explore its dark regions, has been for many generations past a locality of deep and absorbing interest. We allude, of course, to the northern zone or belt of the earth known as the arctic or polar regions. A sort of interest approximating to fascination has always been manifested in this icy region; and at no former period in the world's history has it commanded a greater share of attention than at the present time, when the problem of an open polar sea is apparently nearing its solution. It will be the province of this work to give the reader comprehensive and interesting accounts of the various expeditions sent there in the interest of science generally, and navigation in particular, from the days of the Northmen, in the ninth century, to the present time, with a full history of the "Polaris Expedition" under the late Captain Charles Francis Hall, and an exhaustive narrative of the six months' unparalleled experience of the nineteen human beings, isolated from the world and drifting about at the mercy of the elements, guided alone by the great arm of God. The work is the result of industrious research, and only the most reliable material is used in its production, while the most rigid care is exercised in avoiding the slightest exaggeration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here's a brief summary of the story: Lily and Max are two curious siblings who like to try new things. They go on an Arctic trip to a small town surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Their interest leads them to do research and make plans for the trip of a lifetime. They set out with their packs full of goods and a map they knew they could trust. They were ready to face cold forests and ice rivers. As Lily and Max continue on their trip, they see beautiful reindeer, marvel at the Northern Lights, and meet playful seals. Selma, a seal, talks to them and gives them advice, which is a treat. With Selma as their guide, they learn about the delicate balance of the Arctic and how important it is. From sudden snowstorms to fishing on the ice with smart Arctic animals, their trip tests their courage and ability to make do with what they have. They finally hear about the famous Crystal Glacier, which is thought to hold the secrets to the power of the Arctic. After climbing up cold walls and crossing crevasses, they find the glacier and a crystal ball that gives off warmth and knowledge. With the touch of the ball, they fixed a split that was upsetting the balance of the Arctic. This causes the Northern Lights to shine brightly. The Arctic Guardians gave them the Crystal Compass as a thank you. This will help them find their way on future trips. When they get back to their hamlet, Lily and Max tell them their stories. This makes them want to protect the environment and value natural wonders. Years later, Lily and Max get a mysterious letter that tells them to go back to the Arctic. The Northern Lights lead them back to Selma and the Guardians. The Guardians talk about a dangerous force that is upsetting the balance of the Arctic. Lily and Max collect magical shards of ice to bring people together. In the process, they learn how important unity, respect, and peace are. After dealing with storms and raging rivers, they get the bits and head back to the Gateway of Ice. They fix the split by calling on the magic of the Arctic, so the Northern Lights shine brighter above. Guardians, who are happy for them, give them the Crystal Compass. Because of how much they care, their hamlet becomes a source of motivation. As time goes on, Lily and Max's legacy grows, and their stories inspire new generations to explore, defend, and appreciate nature. The Crystal Compass is a sign of their connection to the magic of the Arctic and a promise that they will keep going on their quest. Their stories are passed down from generation to generation and serve as a symbol of unity. In the end, they go back to the Arctic and meet up with the Guardians and the Crystal Glacier. Their story comes full circle when they realize that they will always be linked to the Arctic. As they look at the Northern Lights, they understand that their journey hasn't ended. It's an expedition, a discovery, and a link between people and the natural world. How the story started: Once upon a time, Lily, and Max, two brave brothers, lived in a small village between two snowy mountains. They were known for being very interested and always wanting to go somewhere new. What is their latest obsession? The Arctic Circle! A small town that looked like it came from a fairy tale stood in a lonely part of the world where the land and sky met in a beautiful show of snow-capped peaks and endless blue. It was a place where time moved at its own slow pace and the air smelled of pine trees and new experiences. The town, which was tucked between two tall mountains, gave off an air of peace and quiet. It was a refuge from the chaos of modern life. Two amazing brothers lived in this beautiful place. Soon, their names would be linked to daring adventures and endless curiosity. Lily and Max were not like any other kids in the town. Their names were like musical notes that floated on the breeze. They were curious people who wanted to know more about the world. Their eyes shone like polished gems, and their hearts beat to the beat of wanderlust. Lily and Max were young when their curiosity was sparked like a flame in the middle of winter. This made them interested in new places. Every morning was a chance to start a new adventure, and each road was a doorway to a new world. Their eager interest had no limits, whether it was following the paths of the stars or figuring out what the wind was saying. But it wasn't just curiosity that drove them forward. They had an insatiable desire to find out more, like a hidden spring that was ready to burst forth and set its own path. Their whole town was full of stories and secrets, but it was the faraway places that drew them in with their promises of magic and new things to find. The Arctic then drew them in like the lightest snowfall that covers the whole world in a magical silence. Its vast and mysterious ice landscapes called to them like the song of a mermaid. The idea of a place where icebergs and glaciers ruled, and the northern lights danced like ghostly dancers in the sky became an obsession and a shared goal that tied Lily and Max together in a tapestry of dreams. Lily and Max stuck to their new hobby even as the seasons changed, and the neighborhood changed around them. They read every book and story about travelers who braved the cold to find out what was hidden in the Arctic. Their walls were covered with maps that were crisscrossed with paths that told tales of danger and bravery.
Download or read book Imagining the Arctic written by Huw Lewis-Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagining the Arctic explores the culture and politics of polar exploration and the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Much of exploration was in fact theatre: a series of performances to capture public attention and persuade governments to finance ambitious proposals. The achievements of explorers were promoted, celebrated, and manipulated, whilst explorers themselves became the subject of huge attention. Huw Lewis-Jones draws upon recovered texts and striking images, many reproduced for the first time since the nineteenth century, to show how exploration was projected through a series of spectacular visuals, helping us to reconstruct the ways that heroes and the wilderness were imagined. Elegantly written and richly illustrated, Imagining the Arctic offers original insights into our understanding of exploration and its pull on the public imagination.

Download or read book New Arctic Cinemas written by Anna Westerstahl Stenport and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Arctic was visualized as an unchanging, stable, and rigidly alien landscape, existing outside twenty-first-century globalization. It is now impossible to ignore the ways the climate crisis, expanding resource extraction, and Indigenous political mobilization in the circumpolar North are constituent parts of the global present. New Arctic Cinemas presents an original, comparative, and interventionist historiography of film and media in twenty-first-century Scandinavia, Greenland, Russia, Canada, and the United States to situate Arctic media in the place it rightfully deserves to occupy: as central to global environmental concerns and Indigenous media sovereignty and self-determination movements. The works of contemporary Arctic filmmakers, from Zacharias Kunuk and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril to Amanda Kernell and Inuk Silis Høegh, reach worldwide audiences. In examining the reach and influence of these artists and their work, Scott MacKenzie and Anna Westerstahl Stenport reveal a global media system of intertwined production contexts, circulation opportunities, and imaginaries—all centering the Arctic North.
