About this audiobook

A relentless race to the top of the world pits two ambitious youths against the most unforgiving environment on Earth. Battling sub-zero temperatures, shifting polar ice, and aggressive wildlife, they push their physical limits to plant their flag before rival explorers. The isolating, beautiful terror of the frozen wasteland forces them to rely entirely on their instincts and each other. Embark on an awe-inspiring expedition where human endurance meets the ultimate geographical prize.
