Alone on the Ice: The Greatest Survival Story in the History of Exploration by David Roberts

adventurous informative inspiring fast-paced

3.5

Great story about this Antarctic exploration that was actually going on while Robert Scott’s last expedition was taking place on the other side of the continent. Douglas Manson was Australian and a scientist who wanted to fill in the blank spots on the map. He also survived an amazing solo journey of 300 miles to reach his base only hours after the relief ship departed.
