Hell on ice

by Ranulph Fiennes

All the rapids, whirlpools, avalanches, deserts, swamps, communist bullets and faulty parachutes that have hitherto provided the obstacle courses in Ranulph Fiennes' eventful career take a poor second place when compared with travel on the North Polar Icecap in the freak winter of 1976-77.
The polar journey involved four men and two women, with no previous polar experience and nothing but a grand design and singleness of purpose to drive them on through the agonies of snow-blindness, skinned toes, damaged, unhealing hands and the constant fear of frostbite.
