"A remarkable book." Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the world's greatest living explorer.

"Absolutely inspiring. To me this should be required life reading." Jean Bartlett, columnist.




Antarctica 1911. Your commanding officer, dying of scurvy, orders you to leave him behind. To disobey a direct order is mutiny. To obey is to leave him to die. What would you do? This was a real situation. What they did will surprise and amaze you.




Grab an ice pick, this book puts you right into the middle of life-and-death decisions made by early Antarctic explorers.




In When Your Life Depends on It, you'll discover: 11 unforgettable survival stories. Incredible stories of bravery. Camaraderie and teamwork even when all hope is lost.

Heroic situations in the most hostile environment on Earth, where split seconds make a difference to who survives.
