Journalist Brian Payton went to the Arctic to write a story about climate change and its effects. What he came back with was the story he heard from Inuit elders of the ship which discovered the last section of the much sought after North-West Passage. A history book with reads like a novel, The Ice Passage is filled with stories of heroism, egotism, madness, starvation and perseverance aboard the HMS Investigator.
