{{DISPLAYTITLE:Pole to Pole (book)}}

Pole to Pole is a book written by Michael Palin to accompany his BBC television series Pole to Pole.

Book contents

The book follows each of his seven trips made for the BBC, consisting of both his text and of many photographs to illustrate the trip. Most of the pictures in this book were taken by Basil Pao, the stills photographer who was part of the expedition team.[1]

The book chronicles the journey in five chapters:

  • The North Pole to Tallinn - The Arctic, Greenland, Norway, Finland, USSR
  • Tallinn to Port Said - USSR, Turkey, Rhodes, Cyprus, Egypt
  • Port Said to Nairobi - Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya
  • Nairobi to Cape Town - Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa
  • Cape Town to the South Pole - South Africa, Chile, Antarctica

The demonstration of the Coriolis effect in Kenya was, apparently, a clever hoax.[2]

Audio edition

This book was made available as an audio book, read by Michael Palin. The audio book is available in abridged and unabridged versions.[3]

Photograph book

Basil Pao produced an accompaniment called Pole to Pole - The Photographs.[4]
