Some of the most daring runners choose to take on an even bigger challenge, which is running this distance in a marathon on the coldest and driest continent. Readers will learn what it's like to race in the Antarctica Marathon, from the bitter-cold temperatures to the often muddy, icy, and snowy course. Eye-catching photographs give readers a glimpse of some of the beautiful sights race participants get to see during this race of a lifetime.
