Everland

"1913. Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps ... volunteer to leave their ship, the Kismet, and scout an uncharted and unknown island in the Antarctic, which Napps names 'Everland.' While all three are enticed by the promise of adventure and reward, they are immortalized by the disastrous outcome of the expedition, their stories preserved for posterity. 2012. Brix, Jess, and Decker ... set out on a centenary field trip to survey the same island. Their equipment is more advanced than the previous group's, and their purpose more scientific, but the harsh weather of Everland remains an unpredictable and deadly force"--Amazon.com.
