Adrift on an Ice-Pan

Adrift on an Ice-Pan, published in 1909 by Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, is a non-fiction account of his experiences as a medical missionary on the remote coast of Labrador. The narrative recounts a harrowing journey on Easter Sunday 1908, where Grenfell becomes stranded on a drifting ice pan while attempting to perform an urgent medical operation. This gripping tale highlights themes of survival, faith, and the challenges of providing humanitarian aid, as well as the bond between Grenfell and his loyal dogs, some of whom sacrifice their lives for his survival.
