Riassunto

On Thin Ice will be a true account of Eric Larsen's life and expeditions, focusing on his most recent expedition to the North Pole, complete with full-color images, an overview map with GPS points and journal entries designed as pull-quotes. The running narrative will intertwine with the journal entries and images to convey a gripping story from polar bear attacks to starvation with an overarching theme of global warming, this will most likely be the last unsupported expedition to the North Pole.

Eric Larsen has skied to both the geographic North Pole and South Pole, twice. He was also the first person to reach both poles under human power, and the summit of Mount Everest in a single calendar year. He has raced in the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon, summited Mount McKinley, and biked across the United States. A filmmaker, Larsen created “Melting: Last Race to the Pole,” a documentary about his “Save the Poles” expedition, which premiered on Animal Planet in December 2015. Larsen gives motivational and educational lectures to schools, universities, non-profits, and corporations around the world. A frequent media commentator, he has been featured in the New York Times, Time magazine, Outside magazine, National Geographic, The Guardian, and Men’s Journal, as well as on CNN, NBC News, CBS News, and BBC News, among other outlets. He lives in Boulder, Colorado.
