Get a comprehensive overview for Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night by Julian Sancton for an immediate in-depth dive into the major themes found in this book.
Julian Sancton was a senior features editor at Departures magazine, where he covered cultural and travel topics. Various periodicals, including Vanity Fair, Esquire, The New Yorker, Wired, and Playboy, have featured his writing. He spent most of his youth in France and went on to study European history at Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. He has covered every continent, including Antarctica, which he visited for the first time while researching the book Madhouse at the End of the Earth.
In Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night, Sancton tells an epic tale of adventure and terror that will be remembered for generations to come. The Belgica's crew was in the face of great danger, and its captain, Adrien de Gerlache, was forced to rely on his two officers: the expedition's lone American, Dr. Frederick Cook, and Roald Amundsen, the ship's first mate. Together, they would work to devise a desperate, almost certain-to-fail escape from the ice—an attempt that would either leave their names in history or condemn them to a dreadful end at the bottom of the ocean.
