balloon, inflate it with 270,000 cubic feet of flammable hydrogen, stick a freaking Johnson 40 outboard motor on it, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, there's some really great stories of... And that's just my third Arctic book.
You know, there were crashes on the ice and people having to survive for months on end on floating sea ice, big bergs.
And, you know, Matt... Well, that book is called Realm of Ice and Sky, and it set off the largest Arctic rescue in history.

Like, during COVID, a guy, this Dutch man, whose job was to put an electric fence around this campground, he was there with all... This is, like, one of the great tragic ironies, man.
He was there, all the fencing equipment was lying there at the campsite, camp area, and...
The day before he was gonna install the fence, he got mauled to death by a polar bear.
