Peter Clutterbuck, an engineer turned author, photographer, and explorer, has traveled to 105 countries and some of the most remote regions on the planet. He has sailed single-handedly across the Pacific, scaled previously unclimbed mountains in the Arctic and Antarctic, crossed the Empty Quarter of Arabia, and dived in the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean. His expeditions have taken him to the edge of the world, where dust storms, blizzards, and breaking ocean waves rule. Peter has faced crises along the way, from rolling a Land Rover in the Arabian desert to being dismasted in the North Atlantic, from being struck by an earthquake whilst climbing an erupting volcano at night to being hit by a raging blizzard in Antarctica. These expeditions have enabled him to explore the pristine savagery of previously unexplored regions, while pushing technology and himself to the limit. However, he has also come to realize that urgent action must be taken to preserve these wildernesses for future generations. Discover in this book a world of staggering beauty – of glaciers 30 kilometers wide, endless seas of sand, deep blue oceans, and crystal-clear starry nights. Let Peter take you beyond the civilized world of central heating, air conditioning, traffic jams, and 24/7 news cycles to places where time stands still. A fantastic read, I found this book exciting, interesting, and inspiring. Peter is a man with many more than 9 lives. The sheer variety of Peter's experiences, of locations, and modes of transport mean there's something of interest for everyone in this book, whether they are an adventurer themselves or not, including in the desert, the Arctic and Antarctic, Africa, and the Middle East.
