Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen shared a dream of crossing Antarctica on skis. They planned, and trained for two years, even pulling tires attached to their waists like their sleds would be. Finally, they were ready to begin! They had to complete their 2,400 mile journey during Antarctica's 3 1/2 month summer, before winter's cold, and darkness, made travel impossible. The beautiful illustrations make you feel like you are with Ann and Liv as they follow their dream.
