Listen now to get the main key ideas from Julian Sancton's Madhouse at the End of the Earth.
Madhouse at the End of the Earth (2021) is a harrowing account of an ill-fated Belgian expedition to the Antarctic in 1897. Poor planning, limited resources, and a crew with questionable qualifications jeopardized the mission. The ship became trapped in the Antarctic ice, forcing the crew to endure harsh conditions, dwindling supplies, and mental and physical ailments for over a year. Using the diaries and journals of the Belgica's crew and with exclusive access to the ship's logbook, Julian Sancton narrates the crew's journey to madness and back.
