"Men like to conquer, fight, or subdue the Arctic, while we had a different attitude. We felt that we had to go along with what we were faced with. . . . We tried to have the Arctic on our side instead of confronting it." In 1997 a group of 20 women set out to become the world's first all-female expedition to the North Pole, hoping to raise awareness and support for sufferers of cancer and other illnesses. Sue Riches, recently recovering from a mastectomy, and her daughter Victoria were among them, and this is their inspirational story of personal accomplishment.
Industry Reviews
An uplifting story -- The Daily Telegraph The Daily Telegraph This story is a fantastic celebration of adventure, courage, friendship and love. Enjoy it all you would be adventurers... And dream on! Dawn French This book captures the essence of Artic travel. It shows that women can survive as well as men and keep their sense of humour. The achievement of these women should not be underestimated. -- Polar Explorer and Adventurer David Hempleman-Adams, OBE
