No Horizon Is So Far by Liv Arnesen

No Horizon Is So Far by Liv Arnesen

"If you think you know the story of the first female crossing of Antarctica, think againMore hard work, more sweat and tears went into this historic expedition than any of us realized. Their accomplishment proves that nothing is beyond our wildest dreams."—Billie Jean King

"Ann and Liv’s historic polar expedition is an awesome accomplishment but, as this book shows, their work as teachers has also had profound impact: they inspire young girls and boys to follow their dreams."—Will Steger, world-famous polar explorer and best-selling author of North to the Pole

"Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen’s crossing of Antarctica will go down in history as a great expedition because it was a first for women and because they set a distance record. But the uplifting story of No Horizon Is So Far shows why Ann and Liv will be remembered for much more: their generosity of spirit transcends their bravery and tenacity. Through this powerful account, these women will inspire readers for generations to come."—David Breashers, author of High Exposure, expedition leader and codirector of the IMAX film Everest

"The new paperback edition calls attention to their ongoing work in raising awareness of water pollution and scarcity, but the core text is a testimonial to the resilience of the explorers in vividly descriptive prose."—Shepherd Express

"What makes this book interesting goes beyond the hard environment . . . it’s the spirit with which this particular expedition was run."—National Geographic
