About the Book

Join Peter Clutterbuck as he journeys across the edge, into a fascinating and often untouched world, where dust storms, blizzards and breaking ocean waves rule.   Author, photographer and explorer Peter Clutterbuck’s love of adventure developed during his work as an engineer, and has taken him to 105 countries and some of the most remote regions on the planet. He sailed singlehanded across the Pacific; scaled previously unclimbed mountains in the Arctic and Antarctic; crossed the Empty Quarter of Arabia; and dived in pristine waters of the Indian Ocean.   Follow Peter’s journeys as he faces crises along the way: from rolling a Land Rover in the Arabian desert, to being dismasted in the North Atlantic; from being struck by an earthquake whilst climbing an erupting volcano at night,  to being hit by a raging blizzard in Antarctica. These expeditions enabled Peter to explore the pristine savagery of previously unexplored regions, while pushing technology and himself to the limit. But along the way he also came to realise that urgent action must be taken to preserve these wildernesses for future generations.   Discover in this book a world of staggering beauty – of glaciers 30 kilometres wide, endless seas of sand, deep blue oceans, and crystal-clear starry nights. Let Peter take you beyond the civilised world of central heating, air conditioning, traffic jams, and 24/7 news cycles, to places where time stands still.  "A fantastic read, I found this book exciting, interesting and inspiring.   Peter is a man with many more than 9 lives. The sheer variety of Peter's experiences, of locations, and modes of transport mean there's something of interest for everyone in this book, whether they are an adventurer themselves or not - including in the desert, the Arctic and Antarctic, Africa, on mountains and on the oceans, using motorbikes, and sailing boats.  Peter recollects his adventures and mishaps with passion and humour and his easy-to-read style made for a compelling read.  I would recommend this book.” Helen, UK
