"His book is the skillful interweaving of selections from the journals of the two leaders, paraphrases and summaries of their accounts and observations, and certain explanatory material taken from other sources, and it makes clear the scientific value of the expedition without in any way dulling its impact and heroic adventure..." 3/31/1980 New Yorker
"High and heroic adventure....An exhilarating story of bravery, self-discipline, and firm resolve, and Mr. Hawke tells it uncommonly well."
