To Everest Via Antarctica: Climbing Solo on the Highest Peak on Each of the World's Seven Continents

This is the amazing story of seven summits solo -- how an American living in New Zealand set out to climb the highest peak on each of the world's seven continents, the first person to do so. Robert Mads Anderson was to complete this extraordinary saga of courage, skill & imagination by climbing Mt. Everest solo & without oxygen in late 1995. En route to Everest, Anderson had climbed solo all the other highest summits on six continents. In the end, after several previous attempts, bad weather in early Sep. 1995 kept him from the summit of Everest. This book is the story of those climbs. But it is also a travel adventure book, full of color & wit. Color photos.

Seven Summits Solo

David Bateman Ltd.

The author tells how he set out with the intention of becoming the first person to climb the highest peak in each of the world's seven continents, unaccompanied. Late in 1995 he hoped to complete the feat by reaching the summit of Everest without oxygen (only two people had ever achieved this), but after several attempts he was foiled by atrocious weather. This is not just an account of the climbs, but an often humorous travel book, ranging from the plains of Africa to the snows of Antarctica.

Travel Writing

In the spring of 1928, two men in a single-engine plane took off from the northernmost point in America - Barrow, Alaska. Flying for over 20 hours across the Arctic, they completed a journery to Spitsbergen, Norway, described by their contemporaries Byrd and Amundsen as ' the most remarkable journey yet made.' 
Seventy years later a team of six explorers set out in a pair of 1947 design biplanes, the Antonov An-2, to recreate that historic journey. 
The story takes us beyond the challenges of the North to explore remote islands in Canad's Northwest Territory, Greenland and Norway, where polar bears, musk oxen and wolves roam freely. The men, from Shane Lundgren, who is the youngest person to qualify as a 737 jet pilot, to Ron Sheardown, a bush pilot who has spent thousands of hours flying in the high Arctic, take us along on an adventourous journey over the top of the world.
