Emotions run high in this true polar experience. It’s a story of triumph, harrowing danger, and outright adventure. In 2012, Aaron Linsdau remaining his entire life behind.
Gone was the anatomist career. He informed his family members and sweetheart that he wanted to pursue a desire to accomplish something no additional American had ever achieved. He wished to be the first to ski from the coast of Antarctica south Pole and back again without help or support. Only.
The journey south Pole addresses over 700 miles about Antarctic Tears: Determination, Adversity, as well as the Quest for a Dream at the Bottom of the Globe through one of the most forbidding frozen terrain on the planet. The temperature is usually generally below zero and gale force winds routinely roar over the ice. The polar plateau can be devoid of life. There are no plants, animals, or pests. Antarctica provides no shelter, no security, and is unforgiving of any mistake.
But prior to the expedition was to start out, there was very much to accomplish. Linsdau trekked 100 mls across the Greenland tundra. He skied across Yellowstone in the winter, camping in -45 level temperatures. Towing auto tires up mountains and consuming 4000 calories each day was planning for Antarctica.
Prior expeditions have misplaced tents, helplessly watching them blow over the horizon. Many explorers have stop or been rescued. What began as a brave adventure in to the unknown converted into a fight for survival.
Linsdau uses the reader to Antarctica. They encounter incredible storms, snow skiing blind through whiteouts, crossing invisible crevasses, and skirting catastrophe. The book shows what happened each day of the expedition.
The air is cold enough to freeze water in seconds and cause frostbite in minutes. Only outer space is usually less hospitable. Driven by interest, he sacrifices nearly everything to create his dream come true. This is a story about personal discovery, testing the limitations of human endurance, total dedication to achieving a goal, and never quitting even when both body and equipment fail.
