To the End of the Earth: The Race to Solve Polar Exploration's Greatest Mystery

This book was a great read. Full of humor and adventure. When the author's journey began and the book turned into a daily log I thought it would become dull but it did not. It had a great balance of adventure, facts about the Arctic and the author's concerns about how the environment is changing the north pole.

If you are a fan of adventure and history you will love this book. The book chronicles the current day adventure of a dog sledding expedition to the North Pole and uses the 1909 expedition by Peary and Henson to travel back in time and review the history of polar exploration. I enjoyed every page of this book.

Simply fantastic!!! Whoever enjoys an adventure will find this book marvelous!!!

This book is a riveting account of Tom Avery's recreation of the north pole trip of Robert Peary and Matthew Henson in 1909. It vividly recounts the challenges that faced the Naval Commander and his crew of Matthew Henson and several Inuit companions. The book is written from the personal records of Mr. Avery and includes a well researched background of polar history. For those of us who love adventure and the outdoors I would recommend it without reservation.
