"In 2005, Australians Chris Bray (then 21 years old) and Clark Carter (20) dreamed of embarking on an adventure completely different from any polar, mountaineering or river expedition ever before attempted. With virtually no prior experience they vowed to cross the ninth largest island in the world - Victoria Island in the Canadian Arctic - on foot. It was to be a world-first, traversing 1,000 km of the most extreme and diverse landscape on the planet - everything from snow and ice to mud, shattered rock, rivers and fields of boulders. With humour and honesty, Chris Bray tells their thrilling story - the drama, the dangers and the sheer exhilaration of exploring a terrain filled with magic and wonder."
