Abandoned in the Arctic

A daring adventurer embarks on a perilous journey, tracing the footsteps of his illustrious ancestor Lt. Adolphus Greely, as he navigates treacherous Arctic waters.

In 1881, a US Army expedition led by Lt. Adolphus Greely and 24 men embarked on a two-year scientific research mission to Ellesmere Island in the Arctic. When they became stranded, the team faced a treacherous 250-mile journey south through icy waters. Years later, Greely's descendant, James Shedd, sets out to relive the journey, but discovers more than he anticipated.
