Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A handbook about the mental and physical preparation and detailed planning required for a successful trip to the North or South Pole. In this guide, veteran explorer and polar pioneer Dixie Dansercoer outlines the particular considerations and requirements for all kinds of polar expedition: short self-guided trips, guided Last Degree expeditions and long-haul expeditions, self-financed or sponsored, to the Arctic or the Antarctic. Illustrated with first-hand accounts of hazardous crossings, tricky decision points and encounters with polar bears, as well as evocative expedition photography, sections cover motivation and limitations, understanding the cold, preparations, what to take, travel during the day and camp organisation at night, as well as hazards from polar bears to exploding stoves and whiteout to frostbite. For newcomers in need of guidance, it will help them begin their mental and physical preparation for surviving in such extreme environments. For returning explorers, there is plenty of information on equipment, techniques and experiences to compare and contrast. Also includes a glossary of polar terms and a recommended daily polar regime. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Edge wear to boards. Internally in fine condition. Very good unclipped dust jacket. Synopsis: In November 1997 two Belgian explorers set out on an incredible journey. From the east coast of Dronning Maud Land they headed south through the most inhospitable terrain in the world to the American base at McMurdo Sound. They intended to cross the Antarctic continent from South to North without any outside help. They carried in their ultra-light sledges not only supplies for the entire journey but also scientific equipment necessary for taking ice-core samples from snows where no human had ever set foot. Ninety-nine days and 3924 kilometres later they reached their goal. On the way they set many new records , managing on some days to clock up distances of over one hundred kilometres at amazing speeds. Their exploit was made possible only by the unprecedented use of traction sails which had been conceived and designed specifically for the expedition, with the aim of harnessing the fierce Polar katabatic winds and which provided new possibilities for long distance travel in icy regions. This full colour book contains over 90 pictures of their trip, many maps and drawings as well as technical details of the sails and their supplies.…

Couverture souple. Condition: Neuf. DÉDICACÉ par Alain Hubert. Nombreuses photographies en couleurs et en n./b. dans le texte. « Un vent glaçant. Un blizzard effrayant. Des tempêtes qui hurlent sur un continent de 14 millions de km2. Un univers hostile, inhumain, infiniment blanc. C'est dans cette confrontation aux éléments impitoyables que, cent ans après le premier hivernage réalisé dans les eaux australes, Alain Hubert et Dixie Dansercoer ont réussi la traversée intégrale de l'Antarctique : 3 924 kilomètres à pied, à skis et à la voile en 99 jours. Après 89 km déjà, un traîneau se déchire, puis l'autre. Quelques jours plus tard, Alain a un sérieux malaise. Puis Dixie, projeté dans les airs par sa voile, retombe brutalement sur les sastrugis gelés. En fin de parcours, ils sont même contraints au rationnement. Mais quand le sort ne s'acharne pas sur eux, quand le vent et le terrain deviennent plus favorables, ils avalent alors les kilomètres par centaines, grâce à leurs voiles révolutionnaires. Les records tombent. Partis le 4 novembre 1997, avec des traîneaux de 181 kilos, depuis la côte située au nord de la Terre Reine Maud, ils atteindront, de l'autre côté du continent, la station scientifique de McMurdo le 10 février 1998. Cent jours pour l'Antarctique relate cette formidable expédition. Consignés chaque jour dans le journal de bord, les doutes, les angoisses mais aussi les certitudes de ces deux hommes aux prises avec la glace, le froid et les terribles vents catabatiques, vous emmèneront au c¿ur de cette fabuleuse aventure humaine.».…
