Emotions run high in this true polar adventure. It’s a story of triumph, harrowing risk, and outright adventure. In 2012, Aaron Linsdau still left his life time behind.

Gone was the engineering career. He told his family and sweetheart that he wanted to pursue a fantasy to do something no other American got ever achieved. He wished to be the first ever to ski in the coastline of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without aid or support. Only.

The journey to the South Pole covers over 700 kilometers about Antarctic Tears: Determination, Adversity, and the Quest for a Dream at the Bottom of the Globe through the most forbidding frozen terrain on the planet. The temperature is definitely constantly below zero and gale drive winds consistently roar over the glaciers. The polar plateau can be devoid of life. You can find no plants, pets, or insects. Antarctica provides no shelter, no security, and it is unforgiving of any mistake.

But before the expedition was to start, there was very much to do. Linsdau trekked 100 mls across the Greenland tundra. He skied across Yellowstone in the wintertime, camping in -45 level temperatures. Towing wheels up mountains and consuming 4000 calories per day was planning for Antarctica.

Previous expeditions have misplaced tents, helplessly watching them blow within the horizon. Many explorers have quit or been rescued. What began as a fearless adventure in to the unknown turned into a fight for survival.

Linsdau needs the reader to Antarctica. They experience incredible storms, skiing blind through whiteouts, crossing invisible crevasses, and skirting devastation. The book displays what happened every day from the expedition.

The environment is cold enough to freeze water in seconds and cause frostbite in minutes. Only space is less hospitable. Powered by enthusiasm, he sacrifices almost everything to create his dream come true. This is a tale about personal finding, testing the limits of human stamina, total commitment to achieving a goal, and never giving up even when both body and apparatus fail.

There have been many surprises during Aaron Linsdau’s expedition to the South Pole…
