Synopsis
In the summer of 1998-1999, Eric Philips, Jon Muir and Peter Hillary set out to complete the 3000 kilometer return journey from Ross Island to the South Pole. Their journey was meticulously planned with high-tech sleds, kites and satellite phones. The journey was conducted in a blaze of publicity, with regular calls live to the Holmes show and an Internet site. Hampered by appalling weather and illness, they reached the Pole, but never completed the return journey. Tensions erupted in a public falling-out, mainly between Eric and Peter. This book is Eric's account of his physical and emotional journey across the pristine wilderness of Antarctica. Eric Philips is an experienced international adventurer: he made the first ski traverse of Ellesmere Island (the Canadian Arctic); he has cycled through Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego and he was Field Training Officer at Mawson Station in Antarctice in 1996-1997.
