When I first picked up The Ice Diaries by Captain William R. Anderson, I did not know what to expect. I had been to the submarine museum of the Nautilus, and I had just a mediocre experience, but this book really opened my eyes to the stories behind the USS Nautilus. I was fascinated by the impact the Nautilus had on the United States and our status in the Cold War.
This book takes the reader through the journey of the submarine USS Nautilus from the viewpoint of one of her captains, CAPT William R. Anderson. Captain Anderson takes the reader through his voyage with the Nautilus, and his goal to discover a new passage to the other side of the world, by going under the ice of the North Pole. The book is filled with excitement as the crew fights storms in the Arctic conditions, collisions with icebergs, and a submariner’s worst fear, a fire on board the ship.
The Ice Diaries is definitely a good read, and I recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure story, with the plus of it actually being true, written by the man who lead the expedition.
