One hundred years ago Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen were racing to claim the great geographic prize, the South Pole. It was an epic battle, a life or death struggle. Now, a century later, Kevin Biggar and Jamie Fitzgerald know how they feel. The Hot Polish Girl (HPG) is starting to get clucky. Kate is back in the picture. Their carefree bachelor days are numbered. There is only one solution - inspired by a brief encounter with Sir Ranulph Fiennes and scones with Sir Edmund Hillary, they set themselves the challenge of trekking unsupported twenty-two hundred kilometers from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back, across the coldest, windiest, highest, diest, most 'est' place on Earth. Along the way they experience yawning crevasses, brain-numbing cold and skin-melting frostbite. They are ravaged by auto-cannibalism, attacked by stealthy snow ninjas and surprised by girls in bikinis. As they trudge south they find themselves unwillingly recreating and reliving some of the most dramatic moments of Scott's last expedition, and so get a unique perspective on the circumstances around his tragic death. Written in the same high-paced, whimsical, entertaining and informative style as 'The Oarsome Adventures of a Fat Boy Rower', 'Escape to the Pole' puts a human face on a classic adventure story you won't want to end. źródło opisu: cover
