In for the Long Haul — M.L. Buchman / Matthew Lieber Buchman

Clara Sailor Poole strode into the McMurdo Station, Antarctica heavy-equipment shop like she owned it. Finding the nerve to step into her pending wedding? Impossible. Michel Frenchy Charbonneau, the self-declared Québécois hero of the ice, finally landed the great adventure: SPoT. The South Pole Traverse — the ultimate drive — from McMurdo to the South Pole. The annual thousand-mile haul to deliver two-thirds of the year's supplies to the heart of the continent. Except Michel faces an unanticipated problem. His wedding date is fixed, but The Ice rarely cooperates with mere human plans.
