Sea Kayaking the Antarctic Peninsula.

In January 2001 three men set out to paddle down the length of the Antarctic Peninsula, the point below South America where the Antarctic continent points a finger north. It was to be the southernmost sea kayak journey ever attempted, a 528- mile expedition through the freezing waste of ice, rock, and ocean that makes this one of the most inhospital coasts on earth.

This is the story of this ultimately successful journey. Beginning at Hope Bay on the northern tip of the peninsula, they spend 5 weeks battling down this perilous coastline, negotiating huge expanses of broken ice, avoiding collapsing icebergs, and constantly struggling with the cold and wet. Eventually the trio reach their goal - the Antarctic Circle at 66 degrees South.

A gripping account of a great adventure illustrated with loads of stunning photo's. 119 pages. HB.
