North to the Night recounts this remarkable, death-defying voyage, which proved to be as much a spiritual journey as an oceanic one.\u003cp\u003eDespite the careful preparation and ingenuity that had seen the Simons through a series of ordeals four months into their journey, Alvah and Diana found themselves trapped in Tay Bay, 100 miles from the nearest settlement. When Diana's father then fell terminally ill, she made the wrenching choice to be with him in New Zealand, boarding the last rescue helicopter of the season and leaving Alvah to survive the long polar night alone with his cat, Halifax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaced with screaming blizzards, perpetual darkness, and aching loneliness, Alvah learned that more dangerous than the beasts prowling outside the boat were the demons within. Forced to confront the awakening of his spiritual self, he emerged five months later a transformed man. His powerful, triumphant story combines the lyrical excursions of Barry Lopez with the suspense of Into Thin Air to explore the hypnotic draw of our planet's most dangerous beauties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill","offers":[{"title":"North to the Night: A Year in the Arctic Ice | Alvah Simon | Hardcover | 9780070580527 | Used: Like New | Travelogues 1691527","offer_id":48368907747480,"sku":"1691527","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71K-YzZTYXL.jpg?v=1773264111","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/north-to-the-night-a-year-in-the-arctic-ice","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
