Greenland Expedition: Where Ice Is BornGreenland Expedition:
Where Ice Is Born

"I think it's because we are always slightly afraid that we are still alive. It's when you have no fear that you become reckless."

--Lonnie Dupre

Forward by Will Steger
Published by Creative Publishing International
ISBN: 1-55971-707-6, 160 pages
$24.95 plus $3 shipping

The expedition goal to circumnavigate Greenland by sea kayak and dog sledge was a mammoth undertaking--both physically and psychologically. Two men alone, on the open, frigid sea and on the endless tundra in windchills of -95°F. The camera film breaks, the muscles ache, the dogs tire, the food supply dwindles. The weather turns very bad...

Within the pages of his book are hair-raising excerpts from author Lonnie Dupre's daily journals. His thought-provoking photographs bring to life this extraordinary and dramatic challenge.

In its 2000 review of bestsellers, Publishers Weekly writes: " Dupre's day-to-day journal is a taut, carefully worded narrative that honestly presents both the joys and pains of the trip and his partnership with Hoelscher ('It's hard to be patient at 50 below')."

"Lonnie Dupre was born with the Spirit of Adventure. What separates him from most people is that he has followed this Spirit." write Will Steger in the forward to the book. "It is a great read of a great adventure, and well illustrated. It is the closest you will ever get from the armchair to your own Greenland Expedition."
