Lost near lethal crevasses and cliffs in a blinding whiteout blizzard is the last place anyone would want to be…
Windy Corner on Denali has claimed lives, fingers, and toes. What would make someone brave lethal weather, crevasses, and slick ice to attempt to summit North America’s highest mountain? Denali has claimed over one hundred lives. It seems like the place for risky adrenaline seekers.
In this book, the author shares the lessons Denali teaches on managing goals and risks. Everyone takes chances at some time in their lives, even if it’s driving down the highway. Becoming a risk manager rather than a risk taker is what will keep you alive during difficult times.
Experience the cold, solitude, and uncertainty of life on high mountains. Apply the message, build resilience, and overcome adversities in your life.

Antarctic Tears: Determination, adversity, and the pursuit of a dream at the bottom of the world
![Antarctic Tears: Determination, adversity, and the pursuit of a dream at the bottom of the world by [Linsdau, Aaron]](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/828/41278644314_882bfb10f3.jpg)
Emotions run high in this true polar adventure. It's a story of triumph, harrowing danger, and outright adventure. In 2012, Aaron Linsdau left his entire life behind.
Gone was the engineering career. He told his family and girlfriend that he wanted to pursue a dream to do something no other American had ever accomplished. He wanted to be the first to ski from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without aid or support. Alone.
The journey to the South Pole covers over 700 miles through the most forbidding frozen terrain on the planet. The temperature is always below zero and gale force winds routinely roar across the ice. The polar plateau is devoid of life. There are no plants, animals, or insects. Antarctica provides no shelter, no protection, and is unforgiving of any mistake.
But before the expedition was to start, there was much to do. Linsdau trekked 100 miles across the Greenland tundra. He skied across Yellowstone in the winter, camping in -45 degree temperatures. Towing tires up mountains and eating 4000 calories a day was preparation for Antarctica.
Previous expeditions have lost tents, helplessly watching them blow over the horizon. Many explorers have quit or been rescued. What began as a brave adventure into the unknown turned into a battle for survival.
Linsdau takes the reader to Antarctica. They experience incredible storms, skiing blind through whiteouts, crossing invisible crevasses, and skirting disaster. The book shows what happened every day of the expedition.
The air is cold enough to freeze water in seconds and cause frostbite in minutes. Only outer space is less hospitable. Driven by passion, he sacrifices nearly everything to make his dream come true. This is a story about personal discovery, testing the limits of human endurance, total dedication to achieving a goal, and never giving up even when both body and equipment fail.
There were many surprises during Aaron Linsdau's expedition to the South Pole...
Antarctic Tears is also available as an audiobook in a 9CD box set or as MP3 files on a USB thumb drive.

"I finished your book and it was a great read. I still cannot fathom someone subjecting himself to that kind of environment. -Pulling all of your own supplies, and doing it solo for several months is incredible. I've read a lot of human endurance books, but your trip ranks right up there in difficulty." - Ed Lavino, Jackson, WY, author of Prevailing Westerlies

I’ve always loved stories set in the Antartic. A true story makes it even more fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI dont think I'd last.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in the Arctic before, so I think that gives me an advantage for survival in the Antarctic.. The key is to wear proper clothing!
ReplyDeleteNot long, I don't like the cold! But I would love to see the penguins.
ReplyDeleteI live in Florida and therefore my survival tip is to stay the hell out of Antarctica.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't last. I hate being cold.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't last at all, I like to be warm
ReplyDeleteI couldn't I can not take the cold.
ReplyDeleteI could not last there. My tip: STAY HOME!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest.

I certainly know I wouldn't last very long at all, so my hat is off to those who travel there voluntarily!
