Description 393 pages ; 21 cm Series Children's Book Council of Australia awards ; 2009 Summary "During the winter of 1922, the Exploration Vessel Raven became trapped in the Antarctic icepack, entombing 28 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 is today, and is a journey into the mind of every person who has ever set foot upon those ice-bound shores.'--Provided by publisher Notes Bibliography: p. 392-3 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 392-393) Audience Secondary school students Notes Children's Book Council of Australia honour book 2008 Subject 2009 Children's Book Council of Australia Awards (shortlisted) Adventure stories.
