No.1 bestseller Michael Palin's epic journey from the North Pole to
the South Pole. 'The cracked and fissured ice-pack offers no
comfortable reassurance - no glimmer of any reward to the traveller
who has made his way to the top of the world. The Arctic Ocean,
known to the Victorians as the Sea of Ancient Ice, stares balefully
back as we descend towards it, reflecting nothing but the question:
Why?' Michael Palin's adventure begins when he is enrolled in the
Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society... Travelling by train, truck,
raft, Ski-Doo, barge, balloon and bicycle, Michael Palin
experiences every extreme the world has to offer. Braving the cold
grip of the Arctic Circle, and the swirling snowstorms of
Spitsbergen, Palin has to cope with friendly locals, occasional
gunfire and his own unruly digestive system before he can finally
stand in Scott's shoes at the South Pole, in the Land of the
Midnight Sun.
