Ice Tracks: Today’s Heroic Age of Polar Adventure - Angie Butler

For little more than 100 years the Arctic and Antarctic have inspired some of the greatest stories ever told. The exploits of Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton and many, many others have inspired and awed millions of people over the years. 

Ice Tracks brings together for the first time the accounts of eighteen of our greatest present day Polar explorers — Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Robert Swan, Rosie Stancer and Ann Daniels, Matty McNair and Dr Viktor Boyarsky — English, Russian, Swedish, Canadian — they all share a love of the extreme. 

Their expeditions across the two Poles have demanded extraordinary bravery, unimaginable privation and sometimes a little luck. 

Ice Tracks, with its superb photographs, leaves no iceberg unturned to lay bare today’s Polar world.

With over 70 photographs, maps and drawings
