The Horizontal Everest - Extreme Journeys on Ellesmere Island (Paperback)

"&#8220... refreshingly free of the hubris that marks
much adventure writing ... The reader never feels assaulted
by Kobalenko&#8217s daring, only inspired by it. &#8221"
&#8212THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
The Horizontal Everest brings to vivid, awe-inspiring life one of the most forbidding,
arresting, and beautiful places on the planet: Ellesmere Island-a virgin wilderness that
author and photographer Jerry Kobalenko has traversed more than anyone else in history.
"&#8220... charming and refreshingly honest ...
a portrait of remarkable people and harsh landscapes,
and the siren-like allure of both. &#8221"
&#8212SIMON WINCHESTER, The Map That Changed the World
"&#8220... a compelling portrait of a harsh yet inviting place ... wonderful ... &#8221
" &#8212KENN HARPER, Give Me My Father&#8217s Body
"&#8220The ... stories fill me with passion and dreams. &#8221"
&#8212BORGE OUSLAND, Arctic expeditioner
