Mind over Matter: The Epic Crossing of the Antarctic Continent

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating read
Review: This may be the most inspirational book I have ever read. The ability of two men to cover the entire Antarctic continent while hauling 500 pound sleds and having no support, (even at the pole), is too crazy to seem plausible. Fiennes comes across as a bit crazy and scatter-brained himself, (he dosent' check the thread on the propane bottles until it is too late to change them, for example), yet he and Stroud persevere and survive a trip of unbelievable deprivation.
