Polar First

Résumé du livre

Many would have called it a day after a near fatal crash in Antarctica, but helicopter pilots Jennifer Murray and Colin Bodill were determined to complete what had set out to do: claim a new world record as the first to fly a helicopter around the world via the Poles. Polar First is the magnificent story of Jennifer and Colin's second, and this time, successful, attempt. This five-and-a-half-month journey took them over some of the world's most beautiful and yet hostile places, from the extremes of desert temperatures and the intense cold of the polar regions to the most dangerous waters on earth, and finally to stand on the bottom and top of the world.
