John Harrison comes from a line of aviators and seafarers. He began travel writing after a life-changing trip to Antarctica. Cloud Road won the Wales Book of the Year Award in 2011. He also won the inaugural Alexander Cordell Travel Writing Competition in 2004, and again in 2006. John is a frequent reviewer for New Welsh Review and the Mail on Sunday, and has written for Planet and the Daily Telegraph.
John Harrison’s Forgotten Footprints is the untold story
of the sailors, sealers and eccentrics who discovered the
last continent: Antarctica.
A thrilling record of lost triumph and tragedy, a saga
of adventure and ambition against all odds, and a
compelling insight into extraordinary personalities
and the times that shaped them, Forgotten Footprints
captures the fascination of this most extreme,
mysterious and beautiful of environments in John
Harrison’s characteristically vivid and affecting prose.
