The urgent alarm was raised at military rescue centres across North America on 30th October 1991. A Canadian CC-130 Hercules military transport aircraft carrying people had crashed into the most isolated habitat in the world, the last ice-blasted spit of land before the Pole, 450 nautical miles to the north. As a fierce Arctic blizzard set in, pushing the temperature to near -70c, survivors and rescuers alike found themselves in a life-and-death battle against the elements. This book explores both the massive logistics of the most northerly air rescue ever mounted and the subtle stirrings of the human heart.
