The Crossing Of Antarctica
Relive a daring polar expedition in this definitive account by Sir Vivian Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary. The Crossing of Antarctica details the historic 1955–1958 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Echoing Shackleton, Fuchs’s advance ship was trapped by ice in the Weddell Sea, forcing two years of grueling preparation. Together with Hillary’s New Zealand support party, twelve men tackled a treacherous two-thousand-mile overland march across uncharted snow, colossal ice walls, and hidden crevasses. From mechanical trials and a daring single-engine flight to blinding "white-out" fogs, this classic narrative captures a legendary feat of endurance across a lonely, unknown continent no human had ever traversed before. First Edition 1958
