South to the Pole. The Icelandic Ski Expedition. Ólafur Örn Haraldsson tells of a trip to the South Pole. Photos Ingþór Bjarnason, Haraldur Örn Ólafsson and Ólafur Örn Haraldsson, drawings Guðmundur Ó. Ingvarsson.
For almost two months, three Icelandic super minds push forward in the constant headwind and brutal frost of Antarctica. Nothing stops them, neither rough slopes nor cracks. Each day passes with tireless effort. What drives these men? What struggle do they wage within themselves and against the merciless nature on the world's largest glacier? The book about the ski expedition of Ólafur Arnar Haraldsson, Haraldur Arnar Ólafsson and Ingþór Bjarnason is the most fairy-tale-like. After much hardship, they stood at the South Pole on New Year's Day 1998. In a vivid and captivating narrative, the author opens up to the reader the world of the ice continent in the south, which is unknown to most, and in a sincere way he provides a glimpse into the polar explorer's mind and his conflict with himself. An unusual and fascinating travelogue from Reykjavík to the South Pole with numerous magnificent photographs. (Bókatíðindi 2002).
