Wolfgang Melchior presents his new book

“One Minute!” – An expedition to the South Pole

 

The coldest, windiest, highest and driest continent on earth – Antarctica.

The conquest of the South Pole by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen in 1911 was a highlight of the last century.

Before him and after him, many had tried and died in the process.

 

Over 100 years later:

An expedition.

The destination: the South Pole.

On an unknown route.

The necessities in sledges – pulled by yourself.

On skis and under your own steam

On the hunt for the record.

900 kilometers in less than 40 days against ice, storms, crevasses, extreme cold, constant danger….

 

In breathtaking images, the author depicts the daily battle against the mighty forces of nature – a world in which man does not belong.

 

The author has experienced everything he tells us himself. This gives the book the charm of authenticity. It has the value of uniqueness and is also a document of a gripping adventure.
