Dancing on Ice - A 1930s Arctic Adventure is the story of fourteen young men, with barely a shred of experience between them, who travelled to the Arctic and stayed for a year in a journey that was touched by outstanding success as well as hardship and tragedy.

Led by Gino Watkins, they charted the east coast of Greenland, discovered a mountain range, ate polar bear and taught the Charleston to Inuit people. One of the party, Courtauld, was forced to spend the winter alone on the icecap, trapped in a lightless cave, clinging to sanity as supplies dwindled.

The book is a classic adventure story, a compelling study of humanity stretched to its limit and a vivid portrait of the dying embers of the generations who took part in the great age of exploration.
