| Synopsis: |
Martin Burton has wanted to travel to exotic places since leaving school at the age of sixteen, but for 30 years the City of London diverted him with the "smell of money". He made his pile in true Richard Hannay fashion, in the slash and burn of the world's financial markets, and then chose the most challenging places to realise his childhood dream. After diversions to Kilimanjaro, to Russian and Greenland, Burton flew to the South Pole, determined to travel in the mirror image of Robert Falcon Scott ("Scott of the Antartic"). With two friends, he set out by ski, kite and sail to reach across 600 miles of frozen land to reach the nearest sea-ice in Hercules Inlet. This is his daily story, with some extraordinary photographs. |
