My dad lent it to me. As a kid I love those documentary movies and books on the pioneers of the poles: Amundsen and Scott, Shackleton, and my dad has collected a lot of them. I still remember one black-and-white movie where Amundsen and Scott talked about what means to travel they would use. Scott said that he would take motor slides, ponies and dogs. And Amundsen answered: "I'm going to take dog, and dogs, and dogs." It sent shivers down my spine!

So I borrowed a book about Shackleton from my dad, which was absolutely amazing, and then he came up with this one.

I assume you've read it? :-)

MORE SQUEEEEE!!!!
