This book is an amazing read that really shows how much gall, commitment and determination goes into polar exploration. This book really feels like it comes directly off Fiennes' pen - the problem is I'm not sure this book was proof read. There are quite a few errors in the book (such as stating the human core body temperature is 100C), however though a little annoying it actually made me feel like this book hadn't been altered vastly by hordes of editors. Overall this book is a fascinating read and I would recommend it to every person interested in the outdoors.
