From the icy plains of the Arctic to the glacial wilderness of the Antarctic, Neville Shulman embarked on two epic journeys achieving his dream of reaching both the North and South Poles. Travelling to the North Pole, Shulman traces the footsteps of Andy Goldsworthy, as part of a Tate Gallery team invited to view the artist's Arctic works. Ten years later, Shulman sets out on an expedition to the Antarctic, this time with the goal of raising money for charity. While undertaking this arduous journey, he meets Robert Swan, the first ever man to walk to both Poles. Throughout, as in all his adventures, Shulman's Zen philosophy enhances his encounters with the polar wilderness and with Nature and provides a unique perspective on adventure travel. Some Like It Cold also recounts the stories of the early explorers of the frozen climes - Scott, Amundson, Ross and Franklin - and provides little-known information about both the flora and fauna of these remote regions.
