Nice reading by Laura Victoria of the explorers that dared the frozen tundra to give the world much needed data of the polar regions! 5 stars for the reader Laura has a nice easy to listen to voice and just makes listening to this book a pleasant experience. If you like these type of books on exploring this is a nice easy listen and lots of information on the men that dared the challenge, and some gave their lives, for the betterment of mankind.
