At ages 45 & 47, two former schoolteachers undertook an extraordinary journey. They set out to become the first women to cross Antarctica on foot. To succeed, American Ann Bancroft and Norwegian Liv Arnesen would have to walk, ski, & ski-sail for nearly3 months in temperatures as cold as -35F, towing their 250-pound supply sledges across almost 2000 miles of crevasse-ridden ice. Chronicling the dramatic details of this historic expedition for the first time, the book explores what drove Ann and Livacross the ice and ultimately into hearts and history books around the world, tracing the birth of their dream as girls half a globe apart, their tenacious work to assemble the necessary money and gear, and their brutally taxing trek from the Norwegiansector to the American base at McMurdo Bay
