About This Book

In this gripping memoir, the legendary explorer undertakes a death-defying solo journey around the Arctic Circle without motorized transportation. In August of 2002, Horn embarked on what would be a grueling twenty-seven-month expedition by sail and foot across 12, 000 miles of extreme Arctic conditions. Enduring temperatures as low as -95 degrees Fahrenheit, Horn battled hazards, trekked across unstable ice that plunged him into frigid waters, encountered polar bears so close that he felt their breath on his face, and survived a fire that destroyed all of his equipment and nearly burned him alive. From the hair-raising dangers that Horn faces alone to his amusing and inspiring encounters with the hardy inhabitants of the remotest corners of the earth, this adrenaline-filled tale chronicle's one man's unrelenting desire to push the boundaries of human possibility.
