Resumen:
The Unforgiving Minute. In late 1999, Tim and fellow adventurer Peter Treseder set out on a journey across Antarctica pulling sleds packed with a tent, food, medicines, and supplies to cover the three-month trip. Against the odds, they made it to the South Pole, setting a new world record for the fastest unsupported journey. Along the way they battled with a storm that kept them confined to their tiny, wind-beaten tent for 40 hours, had fillings that contracted in the extreme cold and literally dropped out of their mouths, and were faced with frostbite to Tim's right hand. They pulled their sleds through an unforgiving landscape of wind-sculpted ice, in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees and at altitudes of over 3000 meters. The North Pole was another story . . . |
