Author Bio: Sir Ranulph Fiennes
Sir Ranulph Fiennes has been called the “World’s Greatest Living Explorer” by the Guinness Book of Records. He has traveled to the most dangerous and inaccessible places on earth. In the process he lost nearly half his fingers to frostbite, nearly died on several occasions, and raised millions for charity. He discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman, was the first man to reach both poles by surface travel, and was also the first to cross the Antarctic continent unsupported. In 1993 Queen Elizabeth II awarded him the Order of the British Empire for “human endeavor and charitable services.” An elite soldier, athlete, mountaineer, and renowned explorer, he is also the author of more than a dozen books of fiction and nonfiction.
