"What young adventurer would not be thrilled to go on an expedition to the Arctic? When Captain Peter Ross sets out to solve the mysterious disappearance of the survey-ship Puffin, he takes his sixteen-year-old nephew, Nick, with him; and it is Nick and the young Eskimo hunter, Utak, who find the first clues to the mystery as they speed their way through the ice-ridden fiords. Before the two boys can tell Captain Ross of their discoveries, they are captured by a ruthless gang of treasure-seekers. A breathless escape by dog-sledge soon follows and Nick and Utak are caught up in as much excitement as anyone could wish for. K. M. Peyton has chosen an unusual setting for this adventure and written a story which every thrill-loving reader will thoroughly enjoy." -- Publisher's blurb
