On July 11th, 1897, three men set out in a hydrogen balloon bound for the North Pole. They never returned. Two days into their journey, they were forced to make a crash landing and disappeared. 33 years later, the men's bodies were found perfectly preserved under the snow. They had all they needed to survive, so why did they all die? By retracing their steps, studying their letters and journals, and forensically examining the bodies, scientist Bea Uusma has finally uncovered the extraordinary truth behind their deaths. 16pp colour illus.
