Cold

Description

Published by Simon & Schuster, 2013, 1st UK Edition, D/w, Fine.   Sir Ranulph Fiennes has, over the past forty years, spent much of his life exploring in conditions of extreme cold in Arctic and Antarctic regions.  This book explores the chequered history of man’s explorations of these remote and dangerous areas of the world, from the early voyages of discovery made by Cook, Ross, Weddell, Amundsen, Shackleton and Franklin to Fiennes’ own extraordinary journeys, including being the first man to reach both poles by surface travel and the first to cross the Antarctic continent unsupported.
