Named by the Guinness Book of Records as ‘the world’s greatest
living explorer’, Sir Ranulph Fiennes has spent his life in pursuit of
extreme adventure, risking life and limb in some of the most ambitious
private expeditions ever undertaken.
Amongst his many
record-breaking achievements, he was the first to reach both Poles, the
first to cross the Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and the first to
circumnavigate the world along its polar axis.
In Living
Dangerously, Sir Ranulph offers a personal journey through his life,
from his early years to the present day. Both light-hearted and
strikingly poignant, Living Dangerously spans Sir Ranulph’s childhood
and school misdemeanours, his army life and early expeditions, right
through the Transglobe Expedition to his current Global Reach Challenge -
his goal to become the first person in the world to cross both polar
ice caps and climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.
Sir
Ranulph Fiennes’ many endeavours have pushed his endurance levels to
the very limits, inspiring generations and making him a pioneer of
exploration with an unparalleled story to tell.
