  This travel book is by the author of A Hundred Days Between Sky and Sea . This is Klink's account of a figure-of-eight solo voyage from Brazil to the South Pole, across to Cape Town; then up to the North Pole and finally, after 22 months at sea, back to Brazil. Klink set sail after three and a half years of preparation. Scenes from many months spent frozen in the ice of Dorian Bay in Antarctica are at the centre of this story. Every day brings new sounds and new sights, as the author charts his way through a changing landscape of ice floes and icebergs, inhabited by seals, sea elephants and penguins.
