Into the eternal ice
- North Pole and South Pole in one year
- Agata Loth-Ignaciuk & Bartłomiej Ignaciuk
- International Children's Book Festival, Literature, Program for children
A nearly 1,000-kilometer march into the eternal ice, at up to minus 50 degrees. All luggage on a sled. Despite all the hardships, on and on to the destination: the Pole. The Polish adventurer Marek Kaminski accomplished this feat twice in the same year, when he reached both the North and South Poles completely alone. A unique achievement to this day!
This book tells a gripping story and provides lots of amazing information about the Arctic and Antarctic. The expressive illustrations let us literally hear the crashing of the shattering ice floes and feel the biting cold. A book for the polar explorers of tomorrow! It has been nominated for the German Youth Literature Award 2023.
