Antarctic Tears (LARGE PRINT)

"Your book changed my life. Thank you. - Gerry Spence, American Trial Lawyers Hall of Fame I can't believe you did this. What a great read. The Navy SEALS in the audience were seriously impressed. - Jason M., Navy Special Forces I finished your book and it was a great read. I still cannot fathom someone subjecting himself to that kind of environment. -Pulling all of your own supplies, and doing it solo for several months is incredible. I've read a lot of human endurance books, but your trip ranks right up there in difficulty. - Ed Lavino, Jackson, WY, author of Prevailing Westerlies Allen recently finished reading your book, and many evenings were spent with him reading aloud to me ...what an unbelievable journey and accomplishment! I just finished ordering 5 of your books to give as Christmas gifts to family members. One copy of your book in particular will be going to our 20 year old grandson who has been floundering for quite some time. I think that reading your book may help him to better understand and recognize that although there are struggles in life that you must never ever give up. Thank you for sharing your dream and achievements with the world. - Barbara Ripingill, Turners Falls, MA Being an adventurer and historian as well as an avid reader, like many of you I have always been fascinated by the world's most dangerous place - mysterious Antarctica. But here we have the personal vivid account of a man's survival against improbable odds. I have read many Antarctic accounts - Amundsen's, Scott's, and of course Shackleton's which are masterful, but this book is different; it is more personal, full of personal emotions, physical and mental triumphs. It will put you there, quite alone, in the vast deadly trackless and seemingly endless high plateau (9,000 + feet) that is the geological south end of our earth. This is a vivid, true account that I could not lay down. -Emmett Harder, San Bernardino, CA Aaron, thanks for sharing your great adventure to the So. Pole, which I just finished reading. You share the powerful reality of that forbidding domain in a way that is unforgettable. I like the ""inside story"" of your thinking and how you came to undertake the adventure; made me feel I was there with you! - Jerry Mossbarger, Hemet, CA"
