The Meaning of Trust in Adventure. In Sidetracked Volume 21 we have collected the best stories of adventure in our time: groundbreaking journeys, pioneering ascents, endurance in the face of escalating challenges, and moments of quiet beauty in nature.

In Polar Shadows, Vincent Colliard and Caroline Ct face the long, brutal night of the Arctic winter with little beyond their reliance on one another to keep them going. Monica Fuentes and Alberto Ojembarrena dig deep and trust in each others capabilities when trekking through a seldom-hiked region of Iceland, and Tamara Lunger and Simone Moro touch the very limits of human endurance while attempting the first winter crossing of two 8,000m Himalayan peaks an expedition that changes Tamaras life.

Join us in an exploration of what it means to survive, and to accomplish things greater than ourselves, in this issue of Sidetracked.
