The book Alone Over Antarctica deals with one of Børge Ousland's greatest achievements, the crossing of Antarctica, alone and without resupply.
Ever since Ernest Shackleton attempted it in 1915, the dream of crossing the South Pole from coast to coast has been the goal of polar explorers from a number of nations. This was one of the most difficult challenges remaining in Antarctica and, like his competitors, Børge Ousland failed in his first attempt. But one of the things that characterizes Børge is that he does not give up. He knew that in order to win, he had to also dare to lose. After another year of training and preparation, he set out again, and this time he reached his goal.
The book that received a 6 in VG and is already considered a classic in modern polar literature. Foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary.
