ICED IN:TEN DAYS TRAPPED ON THE EDGE OF ANTARCTICA BY CHRIS TURNEY reads like a fictional tale of adventure,but let me assure you, this is NO fictional story. The author , his wife and two teenage children along with a crew, scientists, media and volunteers, encounter some of the most hostile weather on Earth and get stuck in an iceflow for ten harrowing days.
As I read ICED IN , I had to keep telling myself this is no fictional story where the main character breaks the ice with his bare hands and rescues the damsel in distress. This really happened to the team that went into the Antarctic to study and ended up being a world wide media event all thanks to today's internet world. I learned more about Antarctica from this book than any school book I have every read. The author lets you LIVE the expedition, lets the reader be a part of the expedition. A very well done book. I dont as a rule read and review true stories but ICED IN: TEN DAYS TRAPPED ON THE EDGE OF ANTARCTICA BY CHRIS TURNEY is well worth a second or third read.
I recieved this book free from goodreads in exchange for a honest review.
