Description
No Horizon Is So Far chronicles the historic journey across Antarctica of two renowned polar explorers, who founded the nonprofit Bancroft Arnesen, which explores to raise awareness about water sustainability. Eighteen years later their story shows how two schoolteachers traveled—walked, skied, ice-sailed—across 2,300 miles of difficult landscape of ice and crevasses, in order to test human inner and outer resources. They dragged 250-pound supply sledges across Antarctica in sometimes 35-below weather. Their nonprofit currently has expeditions planned through 2027.

Through website transmissions and satellite phone calls, Ann and Liv, two former schoolteachers, were able to broadcast their expedition to more than three million students in sixty-five countries to teach geography, science, and the importance of following your dreams.
