Arctic2Antarctic by Michael Holland
Includes 60-minute DVD documentary In 2005 an experienced amateur crew from eight different countries and both hemispheres sailed from Ireland to Iceland and back aboard an Irish sailing boat. Then, in 2006, after a major refit to prepare her for high-latitude sailing, Celtic Spirit of Fastnet and her crew sailed south to Antarctica and across the Southern Ocean to South Georgia before returning to Argentina in 2007. This is the story of the crew's 16,000-mile voyage, the adventures they experienced and the dangers they overcame as they sailed across oceans. Together, they explored some of the wildest and most remote places on the planet, taking spectacular photographs of the barren and extreme landscape and the wildlife and people they encountered along the way. Stunning and awesome, this is an epic story of a brave crew and a boat that took them to the ends of the world.
