The extraordinary story of the first two women to cross Antarctica
The fascinating chronicle of Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft’s
dramatic journey as the first two women to cross Antarctica, No
Horizon Is So Far follows the explorers from the planning of their
expedition through their brutal trek from the Norwegian sector all
the way to McMurdo Station as they walked, skied, and ice-sailed
for almost three months in temperatures reaching as low as -35°F,
all while towing their 250-pound supply sledges across 1,700 miles
of ice full of dangerous crevasses. Through website transmissions
and satellite phone calls, Ann and Liv, two former schoolteachers,
were able to broadcast their expedition to more than three million
students in sixty-five countries to teach geography, science, and
the importance of following your dreams. Â
