Arctic 2 Antarctic: A Celtic Spirit of Fastnet Adventure - Hardcover
In 2005 an experienced amateur crew from eight different countries and both hemispheres sailed from Ireland to Iceland and back aboard an Irish sailing boat, Celtic Spirit of Fastnet. Then, in 2006, they sailed south to Antarctica and across the Southern Ocean before returning to Argentina in 2007. This is the story of the crew's 16,000-mile voyage, the adventures they experienced, and the dangers they overcame as they sailed across oceans. Together, they explored some of the wildest and most remote places on the planet, taking spectacular photographs of the barren and extreme landscapes, wildlife, and people they encountered. Stunning and awesome, this is an epic story of a brave crew and a boat that took them to the ends of the world.
