This riveting true-life aventure of suspense, danger, and endurance chronicles the extraordinary jouney of American Ann Bancroft and Norwegian Liv Arnesen, two former schoolteachers, as they set out to become the first women to cross the continent of Antarctica on foot.
" If you think you know the story of the first female crossing of Antarctica, think again. More hard work, more sweat and tears went into this historic expedition than any of us realized. Ann and Liv are truly inspirational. Ann and Liv are truly inspirational. Their
accomplishment proves that nothing is beyond our wildest dreams."
- Billie Jean King
"Ann Bancroft and liv Arnesen’s crossing of Antarctica will go down in history as a great expedition because it was a first woman and because they set a distance record. But the uplifting story of No Horizon Is So Far shows why Ann and Liv will be remembered for much more: they clearly have a generosity of spirit that trancends their bravery and tenacity. Through this powerful account, these women will inspire readers for generations to come."
- David Breashers, author of High Exposure, Expedition Leader and Co-director of the IMAX film Everest
" What makes this book interesting goes beyond the hard environment....It's the spirit with which the expedition was run.. Inspiring."
- National Geographic
“Ann and Liv’s historic Polar expedition is an awesome accomplishment, but as this book shows, their work as teachers also had profound impact: they inspire young girls and boys alike to follow their dreams.”
- Will Steger, world-renowned polar explorer and best-selling author of the North to the Pole.
