[Solomon] reaches important new conclusions about Scott’s expedition.” —Sara Wheeler, New York Times Book Review “Brilliant. . . . A marvelous and complex book: at once a detective story, a brilliant vindication of a maligned man, and an elegy both for Scott and his men and for the “crystalline continent’ on which they died.” —Robert MacFarlane, Guardian “Solomon has crafted a smart, terrific book and an important addition to polar history.” —Roberta MacInnis, Houston Chronicle
