Pole to Pole
Palin's journey from the North Pole to the South Pole along a single line of longitude, through Europe and Africa and on to Antarctica.
Written to accompany his 1992 BBC series, Pole to Pole follows Michael Palin’s five-month journey from the North Pole to the South Pole, keeping as close as possible to the line of longitude 30 degrees east. Traveling by car, bus, train and ship, he crossed Scandinavia and the Soviet Union in its final months, then the length of Africa, before a change of plans sent him through South America to reach Antarctica.
