James Cracknell and Ben Fogle - Race to the Pole

Having rowed across the Atlantic and survived thunderous storms and huge waves the adventure seeking pair of double Olympic Gold medalist James Cracknell and TV presenter Ben Fogle decided to take on an even tougher challenge. This book tells the extraordinary story of how James and Ben along with third team member Ed Coats battled against the elements as well as physical and mental exhaustion in the toughest endurance race in the world.

What lay in store was skiing across more than 800 kilometers of treacherous terrain and hidden crevasses. Conquering Antarctica would be the toughest challenge the duo had ever faced. With temperatures as low as minus 45 degrees Celsius, frost bite was almost inevitable. Race to the Pole transports you inside the heads of James ands Ben who recount every agonising hour of their journey and the rollercoaster of emotions they encountered along the way.

Could they reach the goal before the favourites, a team of hardened ex soldiers from Norway, or would this be one adventure too far?
