OK, Amazon lists one: The Duke of Abruzzi: An Explorer's Life


Adding to my wishlist.

Ditto. Ed Viesturs talks about the Duke and his expedition extensively in K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain (an excellent read about K2 and 8Kers).

I will add that Cold: Exteme Adventures at the Lowest Temperatures on Earth (Ranulph Fiennes) is a great read on his explorations as well as an interesting discussion and perspective on most of the historical figures in polar expeditions.

I'm in the process of tracking down seal meat for my wedding dinner. Will let thread know thoughts on pinniped protein.

Just don't feed them the liver!

"Nutritional Fact Sheet posted:

Inuit women of child-bearing age in Nunavut who may become pregnant, are planning to get pregnant, or are pregnant are advised to eat ringed seal meat instead of ringed seal liver

(That document is hilarious).

Why, polar bear meat cooked in polar bear fat does sound good.
