(4) 4-6 Encounter series. Illustrated by Iva Sasheva. In 1988, fifty-year-old Helen Thayer hiked to the North Pole, becoming the first woman to reach "any of the world's Poles" alone.

The photorealistic illustrations convey Thayer's isolation in the stark Arctic environment. Notes from Thayer and the author are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.
