About the Author:
Paul Schurke, entrepreneur, educator, and co-founder of Wilderness Inquiry, operates Wintergreen, a resort offering lodge-based dogsledding vacations near Ely, Minnesota.
From School Library Journal:
YA Technological advances may have made for a shrinking planet, and once- inaccessible places are no longer as re mote as they used to be, but the North Pole still retains its allure. In 1986, the Steger International Polar Expedition, comprised of seven men and one wom an, started for the pole with 3 tons of supplies, pulled by dogsled and human muscle; 55 days later, they reached the North Pole. North to the Pole is the story of not only those 55 days, but also of the planning and preparation that went into the expedition. It is also the story of the expedition members them selves and of the spirit and will power that drives people onward over terrain so treacherous that an entire day's march could cover as little as one and a half miles. That the spirit of adventure and human determination are alive and well is the message of this book. In the face of that, it seems almost superflu ous to say also that North to the Pole is a well-written and well-paced book, as entertaining as it is informative. Karl Penny, Houston Public Library

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On 7 March 1986 seven men, one woman and 49 dogs set out on one of the most spectacular adventures of our time: their aim was to become the first expedition to reach the North Pole without supply since Robert Peary's historic journey in 1909. Seeking to reaffirm the self-sufficiency and resoluteness of those early days of Arctic exploration, they would be entirely dependent on the three tons of supplies they brought with them: there would be no airlifts with rested dogs, no new equipment, no extra food or fuel. After 55 days and 1000 gruelling miles, enduring temperatures of -70 degrees, six team members completed the journey - including Ann Bancroft, the first woman ever to reach the Pole. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002786782
