From the outset we know that there won't be a happy ending to the expedition, as Algie's letter to a physician on the first page sets the tone for the book.
Originally, there are five members: public-school educated Teddy, Hugo, Algie and Gus, and Jack, who feels that because of his upbringing and education he's got something to prove to the others and through whose journal entries we learn of the events in Gruhuken. This novel tells of an ill-fated expedition to a remote bay in Spitsbergen to set up a base camp to study High Arctic biology and geology and establish a meteorological survey station.
