Every now and then, you pick up an adventure memoir that makes you want to pack a bag and head into the wild—or, conversely, curl up even tighter under your blanket and thank your lucky stars you’re safe at home. Fred Nelson’s Challenge of the Ice: A Canoeing Adventure in the Wilderness of Northern Canada manages to do both at the exact same time. If you are a fan of raw, unvarnished wilderness survival stories, this indie release belongs on your radar.
