Second of Michael Palin's Great Twentieth-Century Adventures.
Setting out to travel from one end of the earth to the other, following the 30 degree east line of longitude, Palin and his team, using aircraft only as a last resort, endured extremes of heat and cold, as they crossed 17 countries on trains, trucks, ships, rafts, ski-doos, buses, barges, bicycles and balloons.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs by Basil Pao - Michaels friend and fellow traveller on Around The World in 80 Days, Pole to Pole is Michael Palin's own record of the pain and pleasure of an extraordinary journey.
