Holy bait and switch Batman! Based on the title you'd think the book "South to the Sun" was about polar explorer Roald Amundsen. How silly of us to assume! While parts of the book do deal with Amundsen in a very elementary manner, large portions are devoted to Ms. Cox's peculiar desire to swim in extremely cold water. Ms. Cox some how believes this activity makes her a kindred spirit to one of the most intrepid explorers of the 20th century. It doesn't. It makes her very cold and a hero in her own mind. Both the author and publisher should be ashamed for foisting this travesty on the public.
