Karluk: The Great Untold Story of Arctic Exploration by William Laird McKinlay (Oct. 20-24)
Fatal North: Adventure and Survival Aboard USS Polaris, the First U.S. Expedition to the North Pole (Oct 24-29)
Some guy in the introduction to The Home of the Blizzard said that book outshone The Worst Journey in the World..umm no lol. They're both amazing survival stories in their own right (not that I'm biased or anything :P). Mawson's Will was one of the first Antarctic survival stories I read, after I moved up here..I was excited when I saw he had written a book too! I think Cherry was a better writer though lol
Well then, speaking of Cherry LOL..
I HAVE THE COOLEST POSTER EVER *dies*
HERE HAVE ANOTHER ONE
I figured that was Cherry on the typewriter, but again doubted myself till I saw this pic in The South Polar Times lol. He probably shouldn't have put his glasses on the table upside down LOL, they could have gotten damaged! :P
