Deep in the wild Southern Ocean, halfway between Australia and Africa, a snowy volcano nine thousand feet high, rears up from the sea like a great white whale.

It tried to kill the first team that attempted to climb it no less than five times. They returned, through treacherous seas to try again, this time with the legendary skipper Bill Tilman at the helm. This is the gripping tale of both expeditions, told by those that were there.
