5. Icebound: The Climate-Change Secrets of 19th Century Ship’s Logbooks

On November 14, 1881, an American called George Melville limped across a frozen delta in Siberia and pulled a pole from the snow with his frost-bitten hands.

Exhausted and half-starving, Melville was scouring the wasteland for fellow survivors of the most famous ship in the world. The USS Jeannette had set sail from San Francisco to conquer the North Pole. Instead, it quickly got trapped in ice and spent nearly two years drifting across the Arctic Ocean, lost to the rest of humanity. https://gcaptain.com/icebound-the-climate-change-secrets-of-19th-century-ships-logbooks/
