SKIING INTO THE BRIGHT OPEN My Solo Journey to the South Pole

Norwegian explorer Liv Arnesen's fascinating account of her solo ski trek to the South Pole tells the story of a woman who battles, and conquers, nature. The story also weaves historical facts into the first-person perspective. Ann Richardson narrates the translated work in a gentle manner. You might not feel the winds whipping around Arnesen, but you get a genuine sense of her motivation as she crosses hundreds of miles. Richardson doesn't imitate anyone; rather, she helps the listener understand Arnesen, who embraces solo outdoor adventures. The quiet, simple narration conveys what drives Arnesen--across the snow and in other areas of her life. M.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2022]
