Omschrijving
Nick Middleton returns to pit himself against the four most extreme environments on the planet in Surviving Extremes.
A brilliant read... that illustrated the strong will and determination of man in the face of everything that nature had to throw at us.
Loveably insane Oxford geography professor Nick Middleton... has something of the amateur Victorian explorer about him... a compelling and hilarious look at one of man's lunatic obsessions.
