"This book is as autobiographical as it is biographical . . . a book that juxtaposes two adventurers, one with her own challenges still unfolding and the other with his position fixed in history . . . a book worthy of the centenary celebration of Amundsen's trek to the South Pole."--San Francisco Chronicle

Today the North and South Poles are home to research stations and film crews, but just a century ago they were forbidding lands seldom seen by human eyes. Those who journeyed there were the last true explorers, and one of the most successful ever was Roald Amundsen. Known as "the last of the Vikings," the Norwegian-born Amundsen began his career of adventure at age fifteen and by forty had become the first man to successfully navigate the Northwest Passage, and to reach both the North and South Poles.

As a girl, Lynne Cox read of Amundsen's exploits, which inspired her to follow her own adventurous dreams of open-water swimming. Here, she gives an account of Amundsen's life and expeditions while detailing her own experiences swimming (without a wetsuit) in the same polar regions he first explored. At once a biography, history, and memoir, South with the Sun holds something for any lover of adventure.

"Not to miss . . . It's fascinating to read about the Norwegian hardman through the eyes of Cox."--Outside

Amazing fit and quality for the price
Size: Medium, Color: Red
Gotta say I was 100% impressed w this suit! And for the price!!?? Nice fabric. Great fit. Great quality. Fit right out of the box! No alterations were even needed. My 14 year old son is 6'2 and around 155lbs. Broad shoulders. Slender build. We ordered the medium and it fit just right. You really cant go wrong w this suit even if you need to get some alterations you cannot beat the price.

Quick Delivery & Surprisingly Good Quality
Size: Large, Color: Light Gray, Size: Large, Color: Light Gray
I needed a suit on short notice and didn’t want to spend a fortune, so I took a chance on this gray suit—and I’m really glad I did. For the price, I wasn’t expecting much, but the quality is honestly impressive. The fabric feels solid and looks sharp, not cheap or shiny like other budget suits I’ve seen. Shipping was fast—I received it in just a couple of days, which was perfect for my tight timeline. The fit was nearly spot-on right out of the box. The jacket and pants fit well overall, though the sleeves were a bit long for my arms. If you need a reliable suit fast without spending a lot, this is a solid option. It exceeded my expectations for the cost and turnaround time.

men slim fit suit
Size: Small, Color: Red
I bought this suit for an 11 year old child for their sneaker ball at school. i order him a size small in men's (he wears a 32 in men pants) this suit fitted him well. the quality of the suit had actually exceeded my expectation. this suit was worth the money and the material. I would definitely order this suit for a young boy for a dance and you don't have to worry about spending a substantial amount of money. the material for the suit was good quality and I washed it in the washer machine.

True to size
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
This suit fits true to size and does not look cheap. I was in a hurry to find something and couldn’t be happier with what we received. My husband looked extremely handsome!
