Summary "Seed of the Arctic Ice" by H.G. Winter is a science fiction novel published in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the character Kenneth Torrance, a torpooner aboard the whaling submarine "Narwhal", as he embarks on a thrilling underwater adventure in pursuit of killer whales beneath the Arctic ice. The story delves into themes of survival, exploration, and encounters with intelligent marine life. The plot centers around Ken Torrance, who, while hunting killer whales for their valuable oil, becomes embroiled in an unexpected struggle for survival when he is captured by a mysterious group of seal-like creatures that exhibit human-like intelligence. The narrative unfolds Ken's desperate quest for escape and his attempts to communicate with his captors, who he realizes are the descendants of human-like beings adapted to life in the ocean. Ultimately, the tale reflects both the perils of underwater hunting and the wonder of discovering intelligent life in unexpected forms, culminating in an intense battle for freedom as Ken fights against time and the harsh Arctic environment to reunite with his fellow crew members.
