Charting the Siberian continental shelf during the height of the Cold War This book tells the story of the brave officers and men of the nuclear attack submarine USS Queenfish (SSN-651), who made the first survey of an extremely important and remote region of the Artic Ocean. The unpredictability of deep-draft sea ice, shallow water, and possible Soviet discovery, all played a dramatic part in this fascinating 1970 voyage.

"This memoir is very engaging....It provides a first-person view of submarine under-ice operations that appears in very few other works." - Gary E. Weir, author of Rising Tide: The Untold Story of the Russian Submarines that Fought the Cold War"
