The White South - Softcover
A 22,000 ton whaling ship steams into a broken plain of white, glimmering ice during the howling fury of an Antarctic gale. What madness drives the ship forwards, deeper and deeper into the ice until its jagged edges hold her fast? Marooned amidst the pitiless, frozen wastes, the crew of the Southern Cross make a desperate attempt to survive against the odds.

"Mr. Innes was a marvellous storyteller" (Observer)
"Mr Innes' work stands in a class by itself" (Financial Times)
