Bob Shepton's photos make one gasp with their grandeur and austere beauty. An informative and beautiful book." - Yachting Monthly "Utterly factual, devoid of unnecessary fluff and simply meant to inform, not cajole or strike fear into the heart of a sailor who yearns for adventure sailing. The combination makes for an inspirational read that is sure to become a dog-eared companion for any sailor ready to head to high latitudes." - SAILING Magazine (US) "A great addition for anyone preparing to voyage into the higher latitudes... What stands out head and shoulders above the narrative are the super and inspiring photos. So, as well as being good reading material for those preparing to go to the far north or south for the first time, it's also very interesting for those who've already been there and done it - as well as for those who prefer to travel vicariously... It is particularly good at raising awareness of the key issues when venturing to these dramatically beautiful and awe-inspiring regions." - Flying Fish "This book is an inspiring read and extremely interesting even if you are simply dreaming of heading to the great polar wastelands rather. If you are actually planning on going there, then this guide is absolutely invaluable." - Sailing Today, " "Some of us think the more you have to wear the greater the adventure."
