In 100 years of polar exploration, no-one had ever walked from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without any support. Many had tried. None had succeeded. Until, on 26th January 2012, James Castrission - Cas - and Justin Jones - Jonesy - made history by completing the longest unsupported polar journey of all time. Following in the footsteps of the great polar explorers like Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton and Mawson, they battled frostbite, physical and mental breakdown, starvation, blizzards and crevasse falls. After 89 gruelling days they made it back to the coast more dead than alive. This is the inspiring story of two Australian adventurers who realised an almost impossible dream. With honesty and humour, Castrission outlines their preparation, the rich history of past explorers who inspired their efforts and takes the reader along on their daring expedition, showing what can be achieved through hard work, tenacity and mateship. Illustrated with colour photographs.
