SOUTH POLE, 900 Miles on Foot, is about the Canadian Gareth Wood, along with Roger Mear &, Robert Swan, who overcame 9,000 feet of altitude and 900 miles of frozen barriers en-route to the South Pole without dogs, radios, mechanical support or caches of food.
Their epic struggle tested these self-assured individuals and taught them the value of co-operation and teamwork in the face of disaster. For Gareth Wood, the day they finally reached the Pole was more the beginning of a new journey than the end of his quest. Gareth and co-author Eric Jamieson deliver adventure on a grand scale, framed by giant glaciers and rarely seen mountains. It is a tribute to personal achievement against astonishing odds!
