Synopsis
In an adventure of a lifetime, Alexander Armstrong wraps up warm and heads ever north to explore the hostile Arctic winter—the glittering landscape of Scandinavia, the isolated islands of Iceland and Greenland, and the final frontier of Canada and Alaska. Along the way he learns from the Marines how to survive sub-zero temperatures by eating for England, takes a white-knuckle drive along a treacherous 800-mile road that's a river in summer, and, with great reluctance, strips off for a dip in the freezing Arctic waters—and that’s all before wrestling Viking-style with a sporting legend called Eva as part of an Icelandic winter festival. Sharing the wonder of the Arctic in his inimitable style, Land of the Midnight Sun is a brilliantly entertaining travelogue that takes readers on an exhilarating and hilarious journey to the farthest reaches of the globe. Through his witty exploration of the region's remarkable landscape and lifestyle, and its even more remarkable people, Armstrong proves himself the ideal travel companion.

About the Author
Alexander Armstrong is one half of the comedy duo Armstrong & Miller, who had a regular series on Channel 4 from 1997 to 2001 and then returned with three series of the BAFTA-winning Armstrong & Miller Show on BBC1 in 2007. Alexander’s many roles have included Love Life, Life Begins, Mutual Friends, and the sitcom Hunderby. He frequently hosts Have I Got News For You?, is the voice of Danger Mouse, and is the narrator of CBeebies cult hit Hey Duggee. Alexander is also a presenter on Classic FM and has a classical album to his name, but is probably best known for presenting the daytime quiz show Pointless.
Review
"A superbly written travelogue which leaves the reader with a warm glow. Armstrong proves here that he is an annoyingly talented bugger. Darn it." —Tony Hawks
