Publisher's summary

Meet married couple Chris and Marty. At midlife, they unexpectedly find themselves weighing the responsibility of parenthood against the possibility of one more grand adventure. After securing care for their 12-year-old son, they set off to undertake one of the hardest challenges on the planet: Ski 570 miles from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole. With no guide or resupply.

Experience a boundless white wonderland. Feel the intensity of 220-pound sleds, 40-below temperatures, and mind-numbing isolation. Chris and Marty stretch their bodies, minds, and marriage to the limit in the process of making history. Riveting and inspiring, The Expedition is about the power of family and community, the adventurous spirit that dwells within us all, and breaking through to feel fully alive.

Living & Loving Life!

I’m so thrilled that Chris shared her amazing adventure with Marty skiing, unsupported in Antarctica. Meeting on Denali was the beginning of this couple’s dedication and discipline in living life to the fullest. There is no doubt that Chris and Marty, while spending time training and constantly challenging their bodies, love their son and place their family as a priority. They are truly amazing human beings. I like that Chris shares their vulnerable moments (never weak moments in my book) with us. As Chris describes, even though she and Marty are pushing their bodies and minds to the max, they need their community of supporters to help them complete their goal to ski to the pole. I also like that the listener/reader never is made to feel less than Chris and Marty. I applaud Chris for her honesty and strength. While listening, I got choked up several times and loved, in a small way, sharing The Expedition with The Fagans!

Experience the Journey

The author took me through the details of an adventure to the South Pole! I felt like I was right there in her mind experiencing the cold, the hard decisions, the loneliness, the teamwork. This book is thrilling and full of unexpected twists, turns and surprises. I would highly recommend it!

What an adventure!

Thought it would be a dry recounting of endless snow and ice. Wrong! Totally enjoyed the life affirming story of the Fagan family and friend’s adventures. And the narration was excellent too. I couldn’t figure out how to access photos in audible so may need to check out the book as well.
