In August 2002, Horn set out to travel 12,000 miles around the globe at the Arctic Circle – alone, against all prevailing winds and currents, and without motorized transport. This is his gripping account of the 27-month expedition by foot, ski, mountain bike, kayak, catamaran, and monohull sailboat through extreme conditions that nearly cost him his life. Over the course of the expedition he endured unstable ice, frigid waters, polar bears, severe frostbite and fire. Quite a tale!
