Antarctica : both heaven and hell

by Reinhold Messner, Jill Neate

An account of an extreme 2,800-kilometre journey on foot completed over 92 days in temperatures down to minus 40 degrees Celsius. Facing severe snowstorms, the trek explores the limits of human endurance in some of the world's harshest environments.
