Book Review: Shadows on the Ice – The 1972 Andes Disaster

Shadows on the Ice is a gripping and accessible retelling of a real-life survival story that I knew little about going in—and I’m so glad I picked it up. Told in graphic novel format, it presents the harrowing events of the 1972 Andes plane crash with clarity, empathy, and emotional weight.

This story doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities of survival and the impossible choices the survivors had to make. It’s a sobering reminder of human resilience and what people are willing to endure when pushed to the edge.

The art style is expressive which helps make the story feel more personal and accessible. It strikes a good balance between the gravity of the events and the need to stay visually engaging.

Whether you’re new to this historical event or revisiting it from a different angle, Shadows on the Ice offers a compelling and thoughtful look at one of the most intense survival stories in modern history.
