The Horizontal Everest: Extreme Journeys on Ellesmere Island

by Jerry Kobalenko
$11.90
The Horizontal Everest: Extreme Journeys on Ellesmere Island
The Horizontal Everest: Extreme Journeys on Ellesmere Island

Arctic obsession, survival, and haunted exploration history

This feels perfect for someone drawn to wild places and the people who risk everything to cross them. Kobalenko blends firsthand adventure with gripping historical episodes, so the Arctic comes across as both brutally beautiful and deeply unsettling. Readers who love expedition writing often enjoy how vivid, lonely, and hard-earned every page feels.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For more than a decade, author-photographer Jerry Kobalenko has traced the roots of explorers, Inuits, and famous Mounties, and charted new routes across the frozen terrain of Ellesmere Island in the Arctic. He recounts the rivalries, challenges, and disasters faced by his predecessors in the 1800s, from starvation to ration thefts, executions to cannibalism.
