About the book: 1992 / The Englishman Ranulph Fynes and a motley team of his volunteer companions decided to take such a unique route (after all, round-the-world expeditions usually circled the globe along parallels) . Their journey, starting from Greenwich, ran through the Sahara Desert, the swamps and jungles of Mali and Côte d'Ivoire, and through unexplored, extremely dangerous areas of Antarctica. Travelers traveled through the Pacific Ocean to the coast of Alaska and further through the Northwest Passage to the Arctic Ocean and to the Pole. You will learn about how the idea of ​​​​an unusual journey arose and how it was brought to life, what dangers and unexpected surprises awaited enthusiasts during their four-year journey from the book “Around the World along the Meridian” by Ranulf Fines».
