Description

"Engaging" - Daily Mail

"A stirring read" - Lonely Planet Traveller Magazine

THERE ARE FEW HUMAN BEINGS WHO CAN ADAPT, SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN THE COLDEST REGIONS ON EARTH. AND BELOW A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE, DEATH IS INEVITABLE.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes has spent much of his life exploring in extreme conditions. The loss of several fingers to frostbite is a testament to the horrors he has been exposed to at such perilous temperatures. His limits of endurance have been tested to the maximum and he deservedly holds the title of ‘the world’s greatest living explorer’ (Guinness Book of Records).

Despite our technological advances, the Arctic, the Antarctic and the highest mountains on earth remain some of the most dangerous and unexplored areas of the world. This remarkable book reveals man’s attempts to discover and understand these remote areas and Sir Ranulph’s own extraordinary feats. Both historically questioning and intensely personal, Cold is a celebration of a life dedicated to researching and exploring some of the most hostile and brutally bleak places on earth.
