A Great Journey!,
This review is from: Mind Over Matter: Epic Crossing of the Antarctic Continent (Hardcover)
I first read this book in the mid - nineties and came back to it recently. Ranulph Feinnes and Mike Stroud 'man-hauled' sledges across Antarctica. Needless to say, it is a harrowing, dangerous journey. The account of the ever-changing relationship between the two men as they push themselves to the limit and beyond, is fascinating. They suffer snowblindness, hypothermia and gangrene and, though they were eating 6000 calories a day - still lost weight!! I loved this for the sheer adventure and determination of these men to succeed at the task they had set themselves.Reviewed by Wendy Unsworth Author of 'The Palaver Tree'
