“Chris Fagan’s new book is a wonderful story of a husband and wife coming together as they conquer the daily hardships and challenges of an extreme journey. The story is a celebration of what it takes to meet big goals and dreams, as well as a testimony to an enduring partnership.”
—Helen Thayer, author of Polar Dream and Walking to Gobi
“Chris has written a wonderful book, as honest and revealing of her emotions as the physical challenges she endured. She draws the reader into her life and family in a powerful way. I wouldn’t be surprised if she finds complete strangers, thinking they know her, showing up to share a cup of tea. This book is going on my recommended reading list.”
—Steve Jones, Expeditions Manager at Antarctica Logistics and Expeditions
“The Expedition is an epic, heartwarming story about moxie and the power of family. Travel to the coldest and southernmost reaches of planet earth where Chris and Marty dig deep into their reserves and ultimately strengthen their bond of marriage in this remarkably told story. Bravo!”
—Susan Conrad, author of Inside: One Woman’s Journey Through the Inside Passage
“The gaze of polar narratives are all too often focused exclusively on the destination, at the expense of the real heart of any journey—the family and the support network back home that make it all possible in the first place and that determine so much of who we are as individuals. The Expedition is the first polar account I have read that has given ‘home’ equal billing to the ‘ice’. Congratulations on a heartfelt memoir and a journey completed with integrity.”
—Felicity Aston, author of Call of the White, Alone in Antarctica and Chasing Winter
“In her stunning memoir The Expedition, Chris Fagan details her trip with her husband, Marty, through remote, harsh, and otherworldly Antarctica, a place that presents challenges unlike any others on Earth. . . . Intimate and brutally honest, Fagan’s story is about the dynamics of relationships, too—with oneself, one’s partner, family, and community.”
—Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews
