To the early mapmakers it was Terra Incognita, and it remains a remote, brooding presence, more mythical than real, its mystery only deepened by the legENDary journeys of Shacleton, Amundsen, and Scott. Answering the siren's call, Deborah Shapiro and Rolf Bjelke pushed their sailboat into the depths of an Antarctic winter, accepting complete isolation to experience the sublime majesty of earth's last great wilderness.
TIME ON ICE recounts their three-year, 28,000-mile odyssey, meticulously planned and boldly executed by two experienced and resourceful sailors. Surviving whiteouts, hurricane-force winds, battering seas, and capsizing icebergs, they found what they were seeking: a wild, untamed, yet fragile beauty reserved for the few who an ENDure it. What they have brought back to share with us its magical. With color photos by the authors.
