Set against the magnificent backdrop of an unexplored frozen land, White Demon ventures into a place few humans will ever experience.
When Chris Weyers decided to fulfil his childhood fantasy of trekking 1150 kilometres to the South Pole, he got more than he bargained for. Joining a team consisting of two hardened Arctic experts, within days, fear, pain and physical collapse became his constant companions.
Only so much can go wrong on an expedition before it becomes unsafe or unsuccessful, and when Chris discovers he has a crippling injury he decides to keep it from the others, rather than be sent home. As he weakens and falls behind he is forced to confront his demons, and in a desperate attempt to keep his place on the expedition, his battle for survival turns into a tense psychological contest. With his eyes firmly fixed on the prize, Chris is determined to make it to the Pole whatever the cost. But the brutal isolation of Antarctica is taking more of a toll on him than he could have ever imagined...
White Demon is a first-hand account of a modern Antarctic adventure. The powerful true story of an expedition gone wrong, it's a tale of endurance that takes us deep into a brutal physical and intense psychological struggle, set in the harshest environment on earth.
