Synopsis

Penguin presents the audio edition of Expedition, written and read by Steve Backshall.

Shine a light into the unknown

There are still dark corners of our planet that are yet to be explored. In this remarkable book, Steve Backshall offers an unflinching account of his adventures into these uncharted territories around the globe, in search of world firsts. Each location brings its own epic challenges - whether it's the first climb of an arctic ice fall in Greenland, the first recorded navigation of a South American river, or the first exploration of the world’s longest cave system in Mexico. But all of them represent new tests of the limits of human endeavour.

Accompanying a major 10-part series on BBC and Dave, Expedition is a breathtaking journey into the unknown, and a brilliantly written celebration of the pleasures of genuine discovery.

A good book, very well written and engaging. Though some have said it's rough around the edges (Backshall himself stats at the end that the due date for his manuscript was before he even got home from the trips), it personally floats my boat and makes the book all the more engaging and raw.
