How to conquer the Earth’s Poles… In one Year?

Marek Kamiński was the first polar explorer to reach both poles within a year. This book will help readers understand what expeditions to the North and South Poles have in common and how they differ. Is it less difficult to walk on skis through the Arctic Ocean or across the world’s coldest continent? Why is it useful to practice swimming in a jacket and skis before the journey, sleeping in a tent in your backyard, and jogging through the forest while pulling tyres behind you? What should you take with you on a snow sledge ride? How do you get through crevasses, climb toroses, and jump from one ice float to another? How do you differentiate a magnetic pole from a geographical pole, and how avoid getting lost in a dense fog? The book depicts life in both extreme and little-known regions of the Arctic and the Antarctic. It encourages young readers to not only explore the world but also to persevere in pursuing their dreams.
