Buddy Levy has written a well researched and documented book of a U.S. expedition to explore a region that was virtually untouched during the period it was launched. This was the journey of U.S. army lieutenant A.W. Greely and his crew of 24 scientists and explorers setting out in 1881 for two years in order to map a region not traveled by explorers prior to his expedition. Mr Levy’s book is based on careful study including data from actual diaries and letters of the personnel involved. Their travels read like a novel of high adventure and is very far from a dull accounting of dates, trips and the meeting of circumstances beyond anything most people encounter in their lives. Consisting of army personnel rather than experienced sailors the crew makes permanent camp at a point further north than anyone has done prior to the trip. They plan to spend two years at the location both exploring and taking scientific measurements in order to develop a complete picture of a land existing at temperatures colder than normal. Populated by some Eskimo Inuit Indian tribes and wildlife consisting of wolves, foxes, bears and seals sheer survival is the most difficult factor to contend with. At the end of two years and a multitude of data collected it is time to come home but the rescue ships sent to collect them have an enormous amount of problems. The U.S. government is not quick to come after them until Greely’s wife Henrietta begins a campaign to get them moving and finally does so..

Army Lt. Greely and a crew of 24 scientists and explorers, in July 1881, were moving toward Greely’s goal of establishing a post at Farthest North – the place that was closest to the north pole. What they experienced – from being set upon by wolves, sub-zero temperatures, and months with no sunshine. After they set up an outpost for obtaining scientific readings and exploring the surrounding area, they returned to their camp and waited for the resupply ship that was scheduled to return to them by the end in 1882. A ship that never arrived. They didn’t know that 250 miles to their south, the ship was unable reach them. Months later, the expedition team were running low on food when Greely ordered the remaining provisions loaded into five small boats and they left their camp to return civilization.Levy has written in detail of this little-known polar expedition. It is clear that he has thoroughly researched his topic, including primary sources from the men’s diaries and journals. He didn’t spare the details of horrors expedition experience as well as the efforts of Mrs. Greely at home trying to convince an essentially deaf government to rescue her husband and the other men.If you reading preference is non-fiction, this fascinating, well-told tale of polar exploration in the early 1880s should be on your to-be-read list.Thanks to St. Martin’s and Edelweiss for an eARC.

I do not wish to return this item for it is a Christmas present. I received this today and was disappointed that the cover has a small tear, really no big deal but it is a gift and looks as if it has been previously used. Ugh!

(I listened to the audiobook) The first half of this book chronicling Greely’s 1880’s polar expedition was interesting, but the second half was riveting. The details and the quality of the writing made this a great book. This is a gritty tale of tragedy and triumph. The first half of the book would have been clearer had I printed out a copy of the maps on the book pdf. My one small criticism is that I wish that the author had helped us get to know more of the men, personally, as we did with Captain Greely. The tremendous details helped make up for this, and this story did come alive. The narrator did a great job. This story of heroism and suffering will be one I will remember for a long time.

“In July 1881, Lt. A.W. Greely and his crew of 24 scientists and explorers were bound for the last region unmarked on global maps. Their goal: Farthest North. What would follow was one of the most extraordinary and terrible voyages ever made.”I’ve always been compelled to read about The Greely Expedition, but every book I’ve ever started was bogged down in facts. Facts are great, but I also need heart. The heart of the story isn’t just facts, but it’s the people. These crazy, brave men who had no experience of the Arctic, yet they somehow wanted to explore and leave their mark. I love reading about the Franklin Expedition, but there’s that point where nothing else is known. They came, they saw and they all died. No research, only a few caches and no resolution. This book is not a dry recitation of historical facts, but rather Levy infuses some personality into the men who undertook this perilous journey. Greely, while rather stern at first comes to realize that he must include the men in discussions prior to making decisions. Most of the time, the men come to realize that Greely’s point of view is best, but some underlying grumbling continues. The descriptions of Levy’s real-life characters infuse them with color and personality. The reader can see Brainard’s thought processes, or Henry’s, or the two native Greenlander’s. Mr. Levy does a very good job at this.

“Labyrinth of Ice: The Triumphant and Tragic Greely Polar Expedition†by Buddy Levy is a masterful historical documentary/adventure narrative. The story is organized into many short chapters, each dealing with specific events and circumstances, which allow the reader to experience a sense of immediacy and maintain both dramatic tension and restorative interlude. Especially during the main part of the narrative, where the author alternates between the (mis)adventurers of the Greely party and of the various groups of “rescuersâ€, a feeling of intensity is maintained.The book is provided with excellent and extremely helpful maps showing the routes of the various journeys, and some of the actual photographs from the archives, which add great interest. Also discussed is a good deal of the “backgroundâ€, including the political machinations which hampered the resupply and rescue endeavors, as well as the supportive efforts of those “at homeâ€, including Greeley’s formidable wife, Henrietta. There is an extensive bibliography of sources, but the narrative flow is not interrupted by footnotes or other references, which indeed allows complete engagement.Obviously, the technology of the late 19th Century, when so many terrestrial frontiers were being breached, is both impressive and yet – to 21st Century readers – overwhelmingly naïve. Also adding to my own sense of awe and in some ways distress while reading this book is the awareness of how many things have changed in the past century-a.
