Snow, Sleds and Silence: The Story of the Nordkapp Expedition

A Norwegian ex-Special Forces dogsled racer, a British round-the-world yachtswoman, and a South African mountaineer set off on an “impossible” mission to the northernmost tip of Europe. This motivational account describes a 373-mile dogsledding journey that encapsulates the magic, tedium, and sheer endurance of working in unfamiliar terrain. Recounting the harshness of the climate, the beauty of being far from the civilized world, the trust that must be earned of the dogs, and the realities of working on a daily basis with an ancient mode of transport, this is a story of triumph over disaster and of three different cultures working as one.
