Unknown Shore by Robert Ruby
4/5 | Reviewed 12.16.05
I picked this book up because of my interest in Arctic exploration, but it’s more than just another tale of the frozen north: it’s a fascinating and forgotten story of survival, politics, and human greed, peopled with interesting characters and strange adventures. Anyone interested in—well, in almost any aspect of human nature and exploration—would be well advised to read this. | Read Full Review
