North To The Pole (CH) (Charnwood Large Print Library Series)

'The literature of adventure is uncommonly blessed with stylish writing...' Washington Post Will Steger and Paul Schurke led an international team on one of the most spectacular adventures of our time: to reach the North Pole without re-supply, a feat never achieved since Robert Peary's historic journey in 1909. There would be no airlifts with rested dogs, no new equipment, no extra fuel, no extra food. By the end of Day One they had moved only one and a half miles. After fifty-five days six team members had completed the journey, including the first woman ever to reach the pole. This thrilling story of daring, courage and commitment vividly recounts their difficulties and victories.
