Once, Anderson nosed his sub to the seemingly ice-free surface but jarred against thin ice and blacked out both his periscopes. A 15-hour repair feat, in a choppy sea and bone-numbing wind, restored No. 1 periscope to use. Constant fear: that the conditions at the top of the world, which confuse both...
