Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning Edward Larson, an exciting chronicle of the adventurous 1909: the year when three daring expeditions - led by Ernest Shackleton, Robert Peary, and the Duke of Abruzzi - simultaneously targeted the two poles and the highest peak in the world!
In the dawn of 1909, the most precious jewels in the crown of exploration had not yet been claimed: the North and South Poles and the so-called "Third Pole," the highest point on Earth, in the unexplored peaks of the Himalayas. Before the calendar pages ran out, three expeditions would face death, mutiny, and the harshest conditions on the planet, to plant their flags at the ends of the earth.
Based on a wealth of documents and on-site research, Edward Larson weaves these three stories into a captivating adventure. Author of the acclaimed work on the poles, Empire of Ice, Larson also draws from his personal experiences in the Himalayas, the Arctic, and Antarctica, where he himself reached the South Pole and stayed at Shackleton's Cape Royds, participating in the Artists and Writers Program of the National Science Foundation's Antarctic.
The three expeditions of 1909, with common points in terms of timing, the dangers involved, and the stakes at play, were celebrated on the boundaries of legend, and their leaders were considered heroes. Stripping away the layer of myth, Larson sheds new light on the events, reminding us that at the heart of this unique exploration story were not gods but humans - and that is what makes their achievement even greater.
