Nice short stories

Enjoy reading this book. So far about half way through. Many short true stories of adventure and exploration. A good book to throw in your backpack to take with you on your next overseas adventure/travel.

wish I was a fly on the wall

Loved this book ! I wish I was there in person to spin a few tales lolol

amazing stories from the ends of the earth

This book contains amazing stories from the ends of the earth as told by those that actually participated. These first hand accounts are simply wonderful, giving the reader an eye into the harsh climates of Africa and the Arctic among other places. Luminaries include Mr. Amundson of South Pole fame. This is a well written and well organized book that covers more then 60 years of exploration.
