No Horizon Is So Far: Two Women and Their Extraordinary Journey Across Antarctica by Liv Arnesen, Ann Bancroft, probably/really by Cheryl Dahle. 272 pages. In February 2001, Bancroft and Arnesen, "total strangers," became the first women to cross Antarctica on foot. The read leaves little doubt that these are really tough people. The book provides a glimpse of some of the logistical challenges the authors faced as women trying to get sponsors to take them seriously---and they prove themselves indeed as incredible inspirational athletes. The marketing of their expedition is interesting.
