Buddy Levy | Dying in the Arctic and the Humanity of Exploration

from Overcrest · host Kris Clewell / Overcrest

Buddy Levy is the author of Labyrinth of Ice, the definitive account of the Greely Expedition. In 1881, 25 men were sent to the Arctic. The government forgot about them. Only six came home. What happened at Camp Clay is one of the most harrowing survival stories in American history.Part 3 of The Forgotten Ones. We talk about what drove men into the unknown, what happens to the mind in 137 days of darkness, and whether anything like this is still possible.Check out Buddy's work: buddylevy.comSupport Overcrest: patreon.com/overcrest
