The Ice Balloon: S. A. Andrée and the Heroic Age of Arctic Exploration by Alec Wilkinson

DNF - I agree with other commenters who wrote that there isn't enough material in this story, and therefore the author chose to pad it with all kinds of related information. This makes what could have been a wonderful short piece a dragged-down one. Even though I was quite interested in the story and the general subject, my mind kept wandering away for all the details and irrelevancies. Stopping at 22%.
