A wonderful tale of frozen pirates being revived and slowly succumbing to madness that put the lives of a shipwrecked crew in danger. The story is really great, even if the language is dated (it was written in the late 1800's though). I think it would be enjoyed by fans of H.G. Wells or even Jules Verne.
