pickThis is a non-fiction story about a woman and her husband who spend their spare time rowing/kayaking in the high latitudes near the arctic circle. In their day jobs they are avalanche experts in Alaska. Some really interesting information about kayaking and avalanches. I can say without a doubt that while her experiences sound fascinating, I would not want to trade places and row for 10 hours straight in icy water.
so-soJournalist Chris Stewart became fascinated by explorer Ted Morde, who traveled into #Honduras in 1940 and reportedly found the fabled Ciudad Blanca. He tells Morde‘s story beside his own travels to that country to try to find what Morde found. While I enjoyed reading this, the author‘s reasoning for going to Honduras made little sense to me. Preston‘s Lost City of the Monkey God is much better.
