Description

In 1910, Captain Robert Scott prepared his crew for a trip that no one had ever completed: a journey to the South Pole. He vowed to get there any way he could, even if it meant looking death in the eye. Then another intrepid explorer, Roald Amundsen, set his sights on the same goal. Suddenly two teams were vying to be the first to make history - what was to be an expedition had become a perilous race. In 2018, Captain Louis Rudd readied himself for the first solo crossing of treacherous Antarctica. But little did he know that the athlete Colin O’Brady was training for the same trek - and he was determined to beat Louis Rudd to the finish line. This gripping account of two history-making moments of exploration and competition is perfect for budding scientists, survivalists, and thrill seekers.
