I've spent enough time in Antarctica to know what an extremely remarkable thing Capt Rudd has achieved. To have crossed the continent alone without assistance or support of any kind in the time of 56 days without a single day's rest is nothing short of astonishing - a true testament to Lou's mental and physical endurance. Capt Rudd is an inspiration to us all, I believe his name will go down in polar history. Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE
Rudd, Louis
Captain Louis Rudd has served as an SAS soldier for twenty-five years, serving in military campaigns in Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. He has taken part in four polar expeditions, and in 2018 made history as the first Briton ever to complete a solo, unsupported crossing of Antarctica. Endurance is his first book.
