“For all their human weaknesses, the book’s larger-than-life characters…pull the reader into the story, and the grandeur of the polar landscape—as well as the terrible struggle for survival—keeps them there… In the Kingdom of Ice is a book to make readers nostalgic for the late-nineteenth century’s golden age of arctic exploration, even as it makes reviewers nostalgic for the late-twentieth century’s great magazine adventure writing. Hampton Sides has captured the best of both, turning history into nail-biting suspense.”

–Michael Ray Taylor’s review for Chapter 16
