Hard on the heels of his masterful and critically acclaimed Wales Book of the Year, Cloud Road: A Journey Through the Inca Heartland, John Harrison's Forgotten Footprints is the untold story of the sailors, sealers and eccentrics who discovered the last continent: Antarctica. A thrilling record of lost triumph and tragedy, a saga of adventure and ambition against all odds, and a compelling insight into extraordinary personalities and the times that shaped them, Forgotten Footprints captures the fascination of this most extreme, mysterious and beautiful of environments in John Harrison's characteristically vivid and affecting prose.
John Harrison's award-winning travel writing with Where the Earth Ends, Cloud Road and Forgotten Footprints has featured journeys in South America and Antarctica. He has won the Alexander Cordell Prize twice and the 2011 Wales Book of the Year. His next project is 1519: A Journey to the End of Time, following overland the route of the Cortes expedition which destroyed the Aztecs. When not guiding and driving powerboats in polar regions, or travelling for his own interests, he lives in London and Cardiff.
