SYNOPSIS: ACROSS THE TOP OF THE WORLD The secret plan of operation known only to a handful of navy men; The first daring probe beneath the ice pack...and the first heart-breaking defeat; The harrowing escape when two of the crew clung to the bridge for twelve hours in choppy seas and bone-chilling winds in a desperate attempt to weld the cracked steel of the periscope. Packed with danger and excitement, here is an on-the-spot account of the atomic submarine Nautilus' trail-blazing voyage from Pacific to Atlantic under the Arctic ice pack. Told by the young skipper, it is a spine-tingling story of the men and the ship who made modern history by opening, with one bold stroke, a new Northwest passage across the top of the world. A TOP BESTSELLER-and-UNDER THE ARCTIC ICE PACK This is the true story of one of the most daring adventures of all time-the epic-making voyage of the Nautilus, of the commander and crew who crossed the North Pole from Pacific to Atlantic-under the Arctic ice pack. Here are the narrow escapes, the mishaps and repairs, the jokes and excitement...each thrilling event just as it happened. Skipper William R. Anderson vividly recreates life aboard the atomic submarine-from the first suspense of Top Secret orders to the final dramatic moment when destination North Pole was successfully achieved. Sixteen pages of fascinating photographs showing the crew, the skipper and their adventures on the Nautilus round out this rousing saga of history in the making.
