"This account of physical and psychological endurance is a personal odyssey drawn out of the historical narrative of an epic expedition... Taliaferro charts the advance of the ice in all its crushing, buckling power, while imagining men and reindeer under a cloud of steamy breath as they labour across the tundra." FT "This worthy book paints a frigid portrait of life 70 miles from the Arctic Circle more than a century ago... (John Taliaferro's) book is an important addition to the canon of literature pertaining to the introduction of reindeer." Daily Telegraph"
