A history not to be missed!


(5 étoiles)

This book chilled me to the bone! Incredibly intrepid explorers brave the savage cold. It is a story of amazing success and deep tragedy. This is history everyone should know. And you’ll not find a better narrator anywhere in Librivox than Laura Victoria, aka Laura Caldwell. Don’t miss any of her readings.

A book not to miss!
