The gripping true story of how Briton Tom Avery led three men, one woman and sixteen dogs to the North Pole in just under thirty-seven days, in doing so breaking the world record and solving the greatest mystery of polar exploration.
'A spellbinding account of one of the most important polar expeditions of recent times.' Sir Ranulph Fiennes
The electrifying true story of a race against time to solve the greatest mystery of polar exploration. Facing some of the most hostile terrain on the planet, how did Arctic pioneer Robert Peary travel 413km in just 37 days to reach the North Pole with only dogs and wooden sleds as his transportation? 100 years later, British explorer Tom Avery and his team set themselves against the elements to recreate Peary's journey, risking their lives to break the record and rewrite history.
'Avery's account of his remarkable journey is gripping stuff' - Daily Telegraph
'Quite breathtaking'- Sir Ranulph Fiennes
'To the End of the Earth is not just about human endurance: in an extraordinary way it's also about re-defining history.' - Dame Ellen MacArthur

As one of only forty-one people in history to have reached both the North and South Poles on foot and a veteran of over a dozen mountain and polar expeditions, Tom Avery is one of the brightest stars of a new generation of explorers. Tom holds several exploration world records and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for leading 'the fastest surface journey to the North Pole'. He lives in London.
