Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-23 00:00:00 Jacqueline Hedrick Some interesting bits in here about the various machinations between IPC ans its staff. A concise and clear early history of Dredd. Drifts away towards the late 90s and looks at individual episodes/stories that affect how the character developed. Lovely MacMahon cover.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-15 00:00:00 Jason Bourne Ok, while not strictly an arctic book, this story that traces three expeditions to the interior of Labrador in 1903 and 1905 had a lot of the same tropes - inexperience, mistakes, starvation. This book drew heavily on diaries of several participants, contemporary newspaper clippings, and other research to document the whole fascinating story. There's the interplay of racial politics at the time, a woman trekking over rough ground and unknown country with mixed-race male guides (scandal!), a possible love story, oh, and people going through stuff that was not mapped. Highly, highly recommended.
