    Description 1994 Edition: 326 pages, Illustrated with colour photographs, maps and diagrams, map endpapers. Original covers in unclipped dust jacket. Shelf wear, lovely gift inscription on half title otherwise contents clean. On 9th November 1992 Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Dr Michael Stroud set out from the Filchner Ice Shelf to attempt the first unassisted crossing of the Antarctic. For Ninety-seven days they fought pain, starvation and snowblindness, dragging 500-pound sledges across the ice. Equipment failure and injury dogged them. They suffered gangrene, pressure sores and hypothermia, friendship turned first to tension and then to mutual hatred. When they were finally lifted out, more dead than alive, they had completed the longest unsupported journey in Polar history.
