Shadows on the Ice cover

On a fateful Friday the 13th in October 1972, a plane traveling from Uruguay to Chile, carrying a young rugby team, crashed in an inaccessible area in the heart of the Andes Mountains. For many weeks, the survivors had to endure intense cold, biting hunger, thirst, and the despair of being completely abandoned. To survive, they eventually resorted to eating the flesh from the frozen bodies of the deceased. In this harrowing and almost inhuman ordeal, they were spared nothing.

"Diette and Nino’s dynamic artwork captures the despair and desolation and the unforgiving landscape. The result is a driving and cinematic account of survival." - Publishers Weekly
