I ka waena o ke kenekulia XNUMX, mālama mau ke kai a me nā moana o ka honua i kahi aura kahiko o ka pohihihi a me nā ʻāpana nui o ka huakaʻi no nā poʻe āpau e huakaʻi iā lākou no kekahi kumu. Ma waho aʻe o nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi moana i hōʻike mua ʻia i nā ʻāina a me nā kai, nā kaʻao kahiko a me ke ʻano o ka launa kamaʻilio a me nā hoʻokele, ua hoʻololi i kekahi huakaʻi i kahi huakaʻi.
Hoʻomaka kēia mea hou mai ka mea i hana ʻia i ka huakaʻi o nā moku Erebus a me Terror i haʻalele iā Ladana ma Mei 18, 1945 a ma hope o kekahi mau mahina o ka hoʻokele, ke komo lākou i ka Arctic, alakaʻi ʻia i ka make o nā lālā o ka 135.
ʻO nā mea kaumaha a pahuhopu i ʻike ʻia i kekahi manawa ma hope aku, akā ʻo nā hanana o kēlā me kēia lā o ka pōʻino e waiho ia i loko o kahi hau hau o nā ʻeʻakeʻa e anuanu.
A ʻo ia, ka intrahistory ʻike ʻole ʻia o ka pōʻino, ua hana pū me ia ʻO Dan Simmons, me kona manaʻo kupaianaha, hāʻawi iā mākou i kahi mea haʻalulu mai nā ʻano kumu o ke ola ʻana, ua ʻike ʻia me nā mea hewa ʻole i hiki i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe ke mālama i kēlā mau kāne āpau i make ma mua o iwakālua kekelē ma lalo o ka ʻole.
ʻO ka manaʻolana ka mea hope loa i nalowale i kahi liona kai a i ʻole adventurer aloha aloha. Hōʻike mai ʻo Dan Simons iā mākou i kekahi mau kāne i hoʻoholo e hele i mua o ka hecatomb. Wale, no ka nalo ʻana o nā mea a hoʻomau ʻia ke anuanu e hoʻonui i ka ʻiʻo a me ka ʻuhane, ke noho nei ka hana ʻino i nā ʻuhane o kēlā mau kāne āpau. Ke heleleʻi nei ka mana o ke kauoha a ʻike ʻia ka kanibalism ma ke ʻano he koho ʻokoʻa.
Akā ʻaʻole wale nā kāne ponoʻī e noʻonoʻo e ʻai i nā mea i hōʻeha ʻia o kā lākou laha, ka poʻe i hele a pili i ka huakaʻi no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ala hou i ke komohana ʻākau o ka honua. Hoʻopili kekahi mea ʻē aʻe iā lākou e like me ke aka polū eerie, ke neʻe nei i ke anuanu a hoʻouka e like me ka holoholona ʻike ʻole.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kēia puke i kēia manawa Ka weliweli, ka puke hou na Dan Simmons, ma aneʻi:
