Books, Manuscripts
Few humans can survive and thrive in the bitter cold - below a certain temperature, death is inevitable. This book is about this aspect of our environment and about Sir Ranulph Fiennes' own life experiencing the extreme cold, from his adventuring apprenticeship 40 years ago on the Greenland Ice Cap to masterminding crossing of the Antarctic during winter.
