Arctic explorer Ben Saunders recounts his harrowing solo journey to the North Pole, complete with gorgeous images, anecdotes, and never-before-seen video. After failing to reach the Pole on an earlier expedition, Saunders explains how he re-examined everything — from his sawed-off 2-gram toothbrush, to a super-optimized 6,000-calorie-a-day diet, to a boost in communication that allowed him to blog daily — to ensure success for his 2004 trek. He wraps up with the plan for his next record-breaking ski trip, an expedition across Antarctica to the South Pole and back.
