In the vast and pristine wilderness of Greenland, renowned adventurer Richard Starks embarked on a daring solo expedition that would test his limits and forever change his perspective on the Arctic.

Greenland For 99 is a captivating account of this extraordinary journey, offering a rare glimpse into the untamed beauty and unforgiving challenges of one of the most remote places on Earth.

For 99 days, Starks traversed the Greenland ice cap on skis, covering over 1,000 miles of frozen landscape. Along the way, he encountered towering icebergs, treacherous crevasses, and the relentless Arctic cold.

But amidst the physical trials, Starks also discovered a profound connection to the Arctic wilderness. He marveled at the ethereal beauty of the aurora borealis, the majestic flight of seabirds, and the resilience of the few plants and animals that call Greenland home.

In his vivid and evocative prose, Starks paints a vivid portrait of the Arctic as a place of both stunning beauty and extreme danger. He shares his struggles with frostbite, hunger, and isolation, as well as the moments of awe and wonder that kept him going.

Beyond its gripping narrative, Greenland For 99 also offers valuable insights into the effects of climate change on the Arctic. Starks documents the melting glaciers, the changing wildlife, and the disappearing sea ice, providing a firsthand account of the urgent need to protect this fragile ecosystem.

Through Starks's eyes, readers will gain a new appreciation for the Arctic's pristine beauty, its vulnerability, and its enduring power to inspire awe and wonder.
