Synopsis

A tale of ambition and madness in the frozen seas of Antarctica In 1922, the polar exploration vessel Raven sailed from Hobart in the early hours of the morning, south into the icy embrace of the Antarctic Ocean. Neither she, nor the 28 souls aboard her, were ever seen again. In 2005, during a visit to an Australian Antarctic station, a writer discover a long-lost journal - the only surviving artefact and evidence of the fate of the Raven expedition. It is a discovery that will consume his life and eat into his soul. Into White Silence is the story of a collision between the past and the present, of the folly of ambition, and of the ghosts of the ice.

About this title

Review

"Brilliant, creepy, chilling, and I wish I'd written it." --James Roy

Synopsis

During the winter of 1922, the exploration vessel, Raven, became trapped in the Antarctic icepack, entombing twenty-eight men aboard it through the dark polar night. Into White Silence tells their story - a story of a lost past, of a tragic future, of ice, ambition and madness. It captures the terrible, fascinating beauty of Antarctica, both as it was then and as it is today, and is a journey into the mind of every person who has ever set foot upon those ice-bound shores.
