Alex Hibbert and Alexis Parr - Mail on Sunday journalist, at book launch for the Long Haul at Cotswolds Outdoor Clothing store in Covent Garden, London

Alex Hibbert’s The Long Haul (Tricorn, £8.99) is another modern tale of Arctic exploits set against the Heroic Age. Each chapter begins with quotes from early explorers, and the book is as much a passionate defence of traditional exploration as it is an account of Hibbert’s trans-Greenland expedition – which, at 2,200km over 113 days, is the longest fully unsupported polar expedition in history. Less of a page-tuner than Avery’s account, it is fascinating for its insight into the practicalities of such an expedition – both before (‘networking is a necessary evil’) and during (‘high-calorie ghee butter is an acquired taste’). Hibbert’s unembellished prose matches his determination to explore the Arctic the purist way: no aeroplanes dropping food, no parachute sails to speed up the journey. And his achievement is all the more impressive because of his tender age – just 23 years. Gabrielle Jaffe
