'Home seems impossibly far away as we step out onto a rough base of ice and snow. The temperature is -25 C. This is considered warm . . .'
Michael Palin's journey from North to South Pole sees him tackling Arctic ice floes, scaling Sudanese sand dunes and white-water rafting on the Zambezi. Pole to Pole chronicles this awe-inspiring overland adventure by train, truck, bike and Ski-Doo as Michael races against time to finally stand in Scott's shoes in the Land of the Midnight Sun.Language:EnglishPublisher:George Weidenfeld & NicholsonISBN-13:9781474625821ISBN-10:1474625827UPC:9781474625821Book Category:TravelBook Subcategory:Essays & Travelogues, Special Interest, Polar RegionsBook Topic:LiterarySize:7.72 x 5.04 x 0.87 inchesWeight:0.6504Product ID:SCHHV0TH5E
