'Cold' heading for the South Pole
30 July 2009
As of next season 'Cold - sailing to Antarctica' will be for sale on Antarctica itself!
During my last visit to Antarctica I met Port Lockroy manager Rick Atkinson, who told me how enthusiastic he was about the coffeetable book. Back home I made a deal with the Antarctic Heritage Trust, and today the UK head office received a pallet full of books.
Later this year they will make the 10.000 mile journey to Port Lockroy, to go on sale next Antarctic season. That makes 'Cold' one of the very few coffeetable books available on the continent itself - in what is certainly the Southernmost bookshop on our planet.
