For more than a decade, author-photographer Jerry Kobalenko has traced the roots of explorers, Inuits, and famous Mounties, and broken many new trails across the amazing frozen terrain of the Arctic’s Ellesmere Island. He recounts the rivalries, the challenges, and the disasters that befell his predecessors in the 1800s, from starvation to ration thefts, executions to cannibalism.

Jerry Kobalenko is the recognized authority on Ellesmere, having trekked over 4,000 of its miles. He lives in Banff, Canada.
“The Horizontal Everest is refreshingly free of the hubris that marks much of adventure writing, and the reader never feels assaulted by Kobalenko’s daring, only inspired by it.” —The New York Times Book Review
