Goodreads

Locked In Ice Covers the exciting , daring and extremely dangerous journey of Fridtjof Nansen’s journey to the North Pole, in a fashion that all experts agreed was dangerous and deadly. Lourie uses information provided by Nansen’s well kept and very  detailed records of not only of the preparations that were taken , but also of the journey itself.

Well written and documented, but unfortunately the color of the font — sepia — is also the same of the photographs, etc. that are within the text, making It sometimes  difficult to read and follow. There is a Table of Contents, and an  “After Matter” section that contains the Appendix, Sources, Bibliography, websites, etc.

Recommended for grades 5 and up, who would be interested on information on expeditions  to the North Pole or biographical information on one of Norway’s greatest scientist and Nobel Peace Prize winners. Locked In Ice would be a welcomed addition to any school library’s resources.
