Reviews
"Eric Larsen is one of the most influential climate voices in the world today. His Last North Expedition puts an incredibly powerful and urgent face on climate change in a way that's never been seen before. And as a world-renowned athlete and explorer, Larsen makes this global threat real to us all through his amazing storytelling, impactful images, and effective use of social media."--Chris Steinkamp, Executive Director, Protect Our Winters"There are explorers and there are those who write about exploration. Eric Larsen is one of the few who do both well. As a polar explorer, Larsen is in a class by himself. But what really sets him apart is his ability to tell stories about his journeys in a way that inspires us to take action; to do something to protect the places he speaks of so eloquently."--Mark Menlove, Executive Director, Winter Wildlands Alliance
Synopsis
In March 2014, Eric Larsen and Ryan Waters set out to traverse nearly 500 miles across the melting Arctic Ocean, unsupported, from Northern Ellesmere Island to the geographic North Pole. Despite being one of the most cold and hostile environments on the planet, the Arctic Ocean has seen a steady and significant reduction of sea ice over the past seven years due to climate change. Because of this, Larsen s and Waters trip dubbed the Last North Expedition is expected to be the last human-powered trek to the North Pole, ever. Filled with stunning, full-color photos and GPS maps plotting his progress, On Thin Ice is Larsen s first-person account of this historic two-man expedition. Traveling across the retreating sea ice on skis, snowshoes, and even swimming through semi-frozen arctic slush, Larsen and Waters each pulled over 150 pounds of gear behind them on sleds through temperatures that plummeted to nearly 70 degrees below zero. At times, they covered little over a mile a day. They were stalked by polar bears and ran out of food. It was, in Larsen s words, easily one of the most difficult expeditions in the world. More than just a heart-stopping adventure narrative, however, On Thin Ice offers an intimate and haunting look at the rapidly changing face of the Arctic due to global climate change.", In March 2014, Eric Larsen and Ryan Waters set out to traverse nearly 500 miles across the melting Arctic Ocean, unsupported, from Northern Ellesmere Island to the geographic North Pole.
