Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World (Kindle Single)

Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World tells the riveting story of seven American hikers who went on a wilderness adventure into Canada's Arctic tundraâ€”polar bear countryâ€”and came back with a tale of terror: the hikersâ€™ harrowing encounter with a polar bear; the plight of the polar bear in general, facing starvation and extinction as the sea ice melts and its habitat disappears; and of the Arctic meltdown, an advanced symptom of man-made climate change that is touching everyone, everywhere.
