Into White Silence

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 was ever seen again. In 2005, during a visit to an Australian Antarctic station, a writer discovers a long-lost journal — the only surviving artifact 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.
