Kona Stories book club Kona Stories hosts a nonfiction book club discussing “In the Kingdom of Ice” by Hampton Sides on Tuesday. The group meets at 6 p.m. at the store. Book groups are free if books are purchased at Kona Stories, or a $5 donation is requested. Sides is an awardwinning editor of Outside magazine and the author of the bestselling histories, “Hellhound on his Trail,” “Blood and Thunder” and “Ghost Soldiers.” In his newest book, “In the Kingdom of Ice,” readers head deep into uncharted Arctic waters. The crew of the USS Jeannette has the aspirations of a young country burning to be the first nation to reach the North Pole. Two years into the harrowing voyage, the Jeannette’s hull was breached by an impassable stretch of pack ice, forcing the crew to abandon ship amid torrents of rushing of water. Hours later, the ship had sunk below the surface, marooning the men a thousand miles north of Siberia, where they faced a terrifying march with minimal supplies across the endless ice pack. Enduring everything from snow blindness and polar bears to ferocious storms and labyrinths of ice, the crew battled madness and starvation as they struggled desperately to survive. With thrilling twists and turns, “In the Kingdom of Ice” is a spellbinding tale of heroism and determination in the most brutal place on Earth.

Dawson was one entry in the 2016 Hawaii Nei juried art exhibition celebrating the native flora and fauna of Hawaii Island. COURTESY PHOTO/SPECIAL TO WEST HAWAII TODAY CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY!
