Helen Thayer walked and skied for 27 days in the Arctic, pulling a 160-pound sled for 364 miles in order to become the first woman--and the oldest person at age 50--to travel on foot, unresupplied, to the magnetic North Pole. Her only companion was a 94-pound dog, Charlie, who was trained by the Inuit to warn of approaching bears. Thayer faced and survived seven confrontations with polar bears thanks to her own quick wits and the keen senses of Charlie. Polar Dream is as much the story of a unique bonding between dog and human as it is the saga of Thayer's heroic trek through the Arctic wasteland. In this updated edition, Thayer adds fascinating new information about her expedition as well as offering reflections on how this journey in 1988 changed her life. This updated edition also includes exciting new photographs taken by the author during her solo trek.
