Land of the Midnight Sun: My Arctic Adventures

The comedian and game show host Alexander Armstrong travels half way around the world in an epic Arctic journey.

In an adventure of a lifetime, Alexander Armstrong wraps up and heads north to explore the hostile Arctic winter — the glittering landscape of Scandinavia, the isolated islands of Iceland and Greenland, and the final frontier of Canada and Alaska.

He learns from the Marines how to survive sub-zero temperatures, takes a hair-raising drive along a treacherous 800-mile road that's a river in summer and reluctantly takes a plunge in the freezing Arctic waters — and that's all before wrestling Viking-style with a sporting legend called Eva as part of an Icelandic winter festival.

Combining discovery and humour, Land of the Midnight Sun is an entertaining travelogue that takes readers on an exhilarating journey to the farthest reaches of the globe.
