Packed with danger and excitement, here is an on-the-spot account of the atomic submarine Nautilus' trail-blazing voyage from Pacific to Atlantic under the Arctic ice pack. Told by the young skipper, it is a spine-tingling story of the men and the ship who made modern history by opening, with one bold stroke, a new Northwest passage across the top of the world.
