This is the story of Tristan Jones' sailing expedition in the Arctic, undertaken after his discharge from the Navy, apparently unfit for more seagoing. He converted a small yacht, Cresswell", to a cruising ketch and started sailing, determined to sail farther north than anyone else. He set out from Iceland accompanied only by Nelson, his one-eyed, three-legged dog. Jones spent two winters in suspense and danger in this bleak polar region. He was trapped by violent snowstorms, attacked by a ravenous polar bear, and marooned on an ice pack in the Arctic Ocean - all the while struggling with loneliness and despair, plus dwindling supplies. Finally, when the ice shifted, crushing "Cresswell" like a matchbox, Jones had to deal with the horror of possible death."

Review
Ice! is to the wide waters of the world what the exploits of that other Jones chap, Indiana, is to the wide screen ...only for real (Sports Illustrated)
Tristan Jones is one of the true classic sailing writers of our time. This story tells of a voyage with a three-legged dog into the frozen north where he is trapped by numerous storms. This is a true classic a tale based on the real life adventures of a true sailing great. Fast paced and as exciting as it is informative. (Latitudes & Attitudes)
Another magnificent tale of derring-do from the indomitable Welsh adventurer. (Yachting World)

Read this one first and your hooked!!!
By seadart@bellsouth.net
While this is not the first of Tristan's books, it should be the first one that you read. It really is the story that starts it all. When a close friend, Capt N., introduced me to Tristan, this was the book he gave me. I will never be able to thank him enough. From the very start, he grabs you, takes you hostage, and throws you down below. With you as a involved observer and Nelson, his one eyed three legged dog, Tristan Jones will fill you and chill you with his voyage to THE ARTIC!!!

ICE is a sailing adventure you don't want to miss!
By A Customer
I found this book so intriging, I could not put it down. It is hard to imagine what it must have been like for Tristan to sail alone with only a black Labrador as far to the North Pole as he could get. He gets surrounded and blocked in by ice, and his boat almosts gets crushed by an over hanging ice burg. He pulls his boat free from that danger, but also faces another danger from a polar bear. Tristans writing style is wonderful. He writes in clear detail and with wit and humour. Tristan and Nelson share the same 'strange' meal concoctions which Tristan names, and Nelson licks the skillet clean. This book started me into wanting to sail myself, and I have went on all of Tristans Journeys through his books. His company was a pleasure and has enriched our lives. We miss him. I have collected most all of his books. They will never be missing from our shelves. We highly encourage others to read Tristans books, they can't be missed. Excellant reading!

Riveting tale by a bold, unsung explorer.
By A Customer
Tristan Jones begins his post-WWII adventuring in a WWI vintage lifeboat he converted to sail. In this true story "Cresswell" becomes as lively a character as Jones himself and his half-blind, three-legged dog, Nelson.
Together, the three take on the Artic sea and ice for a year in an effort to sail farther north than anyone had to date.
At nearly every turn Jones, a salty Welshman, is tested by nature and circumstance and shows an indomitable spirit and a cleverness that has lessons and inspiration for all arm-chair adventurers.
This unforgettable story is just the beginning of a lifetime of adventuring and writing that will make Tristan Jones as dear a friend to you as he was to the thousands of people of every nationality and caste the coastal regions of the world have to offer up
