Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Described as the World's Greatest Living Explorer by the Guinness Book of Records in 1984, Sir Ranulph Fiennes is also the author of numerous works of nonfiction. His expeditions around the world include Transglobe (1979-82), during which he and Charles Burton became the first people ever to reach both poles by surface travel, the North Polar Unsupported Expedition (1990-91), the Ubar Expedition which discovered Ptolemy's long-lost Atlantis of the Sands, the frankincense center of the world, and the Pentland South Pole Expedition (1992-93) which achieved the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent and the longest unsupported polar journey in history. In 1997 the Royal Institute of Navigation awarded Sir Ranulph Honorary Membership and in 2000 the British Chapter of the Explorer's Club honored him with the Polar Exploration Millennium Award.
