Motivationnal speaker a record-breaking polar explorer Tom Avery has received outstanding reviews for his latest book To The Ends of The Earth

For Avery and his team to travel in the style of the original polar pioneers, yet still manage to beat Peary’s disputed 37-day journey to the Pole, is quite breathtaking, and testament their great courage, fitness and determination. To the End of the Earth is a spellbinding account of one of the most important polar expeditions of recent times.’ Sir Ranulph Fiennes

‘Racing against the clock is one of the hardest challenges out there, especially when Mother Nature’s unpredictability dictates each hour – that I understand. I can only imagine the brutal but beautiful Arctic landscape, which no doubt fills your body with a potent mixture of fear and exhilaration. 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

‘Avery has the world at his feet – the remote bits at any rate. He is rewriting the rules of polar exploration, breaking rules once thought unbeatable.’ Independent on Sunday

‘Avery has electrified the exploration world by solving a century-old mystery.’ Sunday Times
