This one is a fictionalized account of Captain John Franklin's lost expedition of HMS Erebus & HMS Terror to the Arctic, in 1845–1848, to locate the Northwest Passage.

In the novel, Franklin and his crew are plagued by starvation and illness, and forced to contend with mutiny, cannibalism and they're stalked across the Arctic landscape by a monster.

A long book, maybe not for the impatient, lots of character building, very atmospheric and the writing is just incredible.

My first Dan Simmons read and I loved it!

A good book to read in an igloo during winter lol! :O
