Into Thick Air : Counterpoint : 9781578051410 : 26 Feb 2009 : With plenty of sunscreen and a cold beer swaddled in his sleeping bag, Jim Malusa bicycled alone to the lowest point in each continent - a six-year series of expeditions to the world's 'anti-summits'. His journeys took him to Lake Eyre in the arid heart of Australia, Along Moses' route to the Dead Sea, from the Andes to Patagonia and from Tucson to the Death Valley. He encountered eager grandmothers keen to feed him, ladies of the night wishing to bed him, men from Africa's most feared tribe keen to impress him and was serenaded by toads and dingos. A large-hearted narrative.
