On November 1992 Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Dr. Michael Stroud set out from the Filchner Ice Shelf to attempt the first unassisted crossing of the Antarctic continent. It was to be a journey of epic proportions, and one that was to capture the imagination of the entire world. For 97 days the two men fought pain, starvation and snowblindness, dragging 500-pound sledges across the frozen roof of the world. They plunged into cavernous crevasses, struggled through bitter blizzards, and raced against the onset of ferocious winter. 15. Near Fine/Near Fine.
