Pris dans les glaces: Le naufrage de Willem Barentsz

I’m curious about what drew Andrea Pitzer to this historical event and how she approached bringing such a harrowing story to life.

The descriptions of being trapped in the icy wilderness really made me feel the isolation — am I the only one who experienced that visceral tension?

With so many perspectives, I wonder what process was used to choose which accounts to include and how that shaped the narrative.
