Nearly 100 years after US Naval Commander Robert Peary controversially told the world that he had reached the North Pole in just thirty-seven days, explorer Tom Avery became convinced that he had been telling the truth. He began to assemble a team to recreate the journey, hoping to show that Peary could indeed have reached the Pole that quickly. Navigating treacherous pressure ridges, deadly channels of open water, bitterly cold temperatures, and travelling just as Peary did with dog teams and replica wooden sledges, Avery and his team were to cover the 413 nautical miles to the North Pole in just 36 days and 22 hours, setting a new world record and reaching the pole some four hours faster than Peary. Weaving fascinating arctic expedition history with thrilling extreme adventure, "To the End of the Earth" is Avery's story of how he and his team risked their lives to solve polar exploration's greatest mystery.
