520    In the late nineteenth century, people were obsessed by 
       one of the last unmapped areas of the globe: the North 
       Pole. No one knew what existed beyond the fortress of ice 
       rimming the northern oceans, although theories abounded. 
       The foremost cartographer in the world, a German named 
       August Petermann, believed that warm currents sustained a 
       verdant island at the top of the world. National glory 
       would fall to whoever could plant his flag upon its 
       shores.  James Gordon Bennett, the eccentric and 
       stupendously wealthy owner of The New York Herald, had 
       recently captured the world's attention by dispatching 
       Stanley to Africa to find Dr. Livingstone. Now he was keen
       to re-create that sensation on an even more epic scale. So
       he funded an official U.S. naval expedition to reach the 
       Pole, choosing as its captain a young officer named George
       Washington De Long, who had gained fame for a rescue 
       operation off the coast of Greenland. De Long led a team 
       of 32 men deep into uncharted Arctic waters, carrying the 
       aspirations of a young country burning to become a world 
       power. On July 8, 1879, the USS Jeannette set sail from 
       San Francisco to cheering crowds in the grip of "Arctic 
       Fever."  The ship sailed into uncharted seas, but soon was
       trapped in pack ice. Two years into the harrowing voyage, 
       the hull was breached. Amid the rush of water and the 
       shrieks of breaking wooden boards, the crew abandoned the 
       ship. Less than an hour later, the Jeannette sank to the 
       bottom, and the men found themselves marooned a thousand 
       miles north of Siberia with only the barest supplies. Thus
       began their long march across the endless ice -- a frozen 
       hell in the most lonesome corner of the world. Facing 
       everything from snow blindness and polar bears to 
       ferocious storms and frosty labyrinths, the expedition 
       battled madness and starvation as they desperately strove 
       for survival.
