A Zen philosopher and traveler to the Arctic and Antarctic recounts his journeys to the north and south poles with the Tate Gallery team, during which he traced the footsteps of international artist Andy Goldsworthy and explorer friend Robert Swan, experienced the full range of the polar wilderness, and met local residents. Original.
This is a well written book about the authors trips to both of the poles. The people he meets, the stories he tells and his goofy sense of humor drove me on. Especially interesting if you have been to the arctic or Antarctica.
This was a fun book because it had a lot of descriptions of both arctic regions. On the other hand, the author was basically airlifted to each of the Poles. He did take a few hikes in other places, but he actually flew to each of the poles. Not really much of a human feat of strength on his part, more of a feat of finance. Still enjoyable![return]
