In March 1990, Will Steger completed what no man had ever before attempted: the crossing of Antarctica, a total of 3,700 miles, on foot. Lured by the challenge and the beauty of Earth's last great wilderness, and determined to focus the world's attention on the frozen continent now that its ecological future hangs in the balance, Steger and his International Trans–Arctica team performed an extraordinary feat of endurance.

Alone Against the Sea

And Other True Adventures

By: Jon Bowermaster

Readers will feel the bite of icy waters as Jon Bowermaster careens down the most dangerous sections of the Yangtze River - so treacherous the Chinese government has closed it to boaters - and descends for the first time ever Chile's Futaleufu, one of the most beautiful and dangerous rivers in the world. Bowermaster stands witness to some of the greatest expeditions of our time, forming friendships with polar man Will Steger, first to the North Pole and across Antarctica by dogsled, and photographer/raconteur Peter Beard, an outsized character still living on the edge of the wild. He sits on the deck with French sailors as they prepare to race around the world single-handedly, each of them knowing that few will finish, and some will not come back alive. Listen in as he is conned on the streets of Baja by a tall-tale-telling fishing guide. Bowermaster's worldwide travels - set against a backdrop of politics, environmental laws and governments gone awry - have a common goal: to inform himself, and readers, as best he can about how the world really works. His expeditions and explorations are less about adventure-for-adventure's sake and more about what the map of the world looks like early in the twenty-first century. This book is an important addition to the adventurer's library.

Wildebeest in a Rainstorm

Profiles of Our Most Intriguing Adventurers, Conservationists, Shagbags and Wanderers

By: Jon Bowermaster

Over the last 20 years, writer and filmmaker Jon Bowermaster has profiled, traveled with, written with and about a wide cross-section of the world's most interesting environmentalists, explorers and professional wanderers. Whether roaming the plains of Kenya with Peter Beard or dog sledding in the high Arctic with Sir Richard Branson, from fishing and rafting with Bobby Kennedy Jr. to a bedside interview with Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, from sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with Frenchman Titouan Lamazou to traversing the Bronx Zoo with George Schaller, Bowermaster gives us a one-of-a-kind look at environmental policy and global exploration around the world today. Bowermaster has explored the remote corners of the world and the state of the globe's environment for a variety of national and international publications. A six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council, he is the author of nine books and has made a dozen documentary films about his own expeditions. Begun in 1998, his ten-year-long OCEANS 8 project, which took him and his teams around the world by sea kayak one continent at a time, provided a unique, sea-level look at both the health of the world's oceans and the lives of people who depend on them.
