‘A swashbuckling, page-turning, rip-roaring ride
across the roof of the world’
This month we publish Arctic Insanity, adventurer Jules Mountain’s account of an epic trip across the harshest landscape on Earth.
When a friend told Jules he’d bought a helicopter in Canada and would need to ship it home to Guernsey by container, Jules thought that was crazy. Why not fly it?
Actually there were lots of good reasons. The lightweight aircraft had a range of 300 miles, was neither pressurised nor supplied with oxygen, and could fly for just three hours before running out of fuel. Whereas the shortest feasible route was 4,300 miles across the polar ice cap.
But Jules – whose previous book Aftershock recounted being caught on Everest during a killer earthquake – had never been one to duck a challenge. Arctic Insanity is his story of what happened next.
Fellow heli-pilot Adrian Bleese calls the memoir ‘a swashbuckling, page-turning, rip-roaring ride across the roof of the world’. Order your copy by following the link below.
