Ice Bird
Classic story of the first single-handed voyage to Antarctica, first published in 1975.
For David Lewis, trying to reach the frozen southern continent, relying entirely on his own resources, was to accept the ultimate challenge of the sea.
He set sail from Sydney, Australia aboard his small yacht, Ice Bird on a search for high adventure. Several months in freezing temperatures, capsizing three times, losing his mast and rigging, Lewis sunk into despair as he suffered broken ribs and frostbite.
Ice Bird is one of the great true sea stories of the twentieth century. It is also a tale of human endurance, a testimony of one man’s will to overcome almost anything and everything, physical and psychological, to stay alive.
You won’t be able to put this book down.
