This lovingly crafted account travels from a young explorer's initial battle to overcome the many challenges facing modern expeditions, to an interesting account of day-to-day life on an challenging hauling expedition.

I guess a book about skiing over snow for a long time could be fairly repetitive, but this one isn't.
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There are now so many novel, quirky, convoluted, and eye catching adventures, and so many accounts written about them, that it is increasingly difficult to discern where you should invest your time and money.

It's nice to read an honest and straightforward account of an expedition that does not exaggerate the hardship, does not try to be too quirky, and does not gloss over the failures.

It doesn't exaggerate any of the events that occurred because there was no need.

Alex takes time to describe not only the journey itself, but how the journey came about, including all the trials and tribulations of trying to get a polar expedition off the ground in the face of troubled economic times.

The writing style leaves you completely absorbed in the story and even with advance knowledge of the outcome of the expedition, you'll find yourself willing alex and george on to succeed in their mission.
