NORTH TO THE POLE, by Will Steger with Paul Schurke, is the1986 account of when Steger and his international team set out with dogleds to reach the North pole without re-supply, partly to shed light on whether Peary could have accomplished the feat. This is his account of the expedition.
"This is the day-by-day accounting of the first unassisted expedition to the North Pole by eight intrepid adventurers. Seven men and one woman, assisted by teams of sled dogs, and surviving on only what they carried with them set off from the top of Canada and arrived at the pole 56 days later. They did not accept any assistance, even down to an extra cup of tea, or one piece of technical data that would assist them on their journey. This was a physical struggle to be sure, but also a mental and spiritual one, and makes for a fascinating read...preferably while snuggled in a good reading chair, your own cup of tea at hand." -Reviewed by Andi on Goodreads.
