Erling Kagge is a Norweigan explorer who was the first in history to reach the 'three poles' - North, South and the summit of Everest. He once spent fifty days walking solo across Antarctica in silence. His book of the same name is an international phenomenon which shows us how to find perfect silence in our daily lives, however busy we are. Erling is also a lawyer, art collector, entrepreneur, politician, and publisher. Sir Ranulph Fiennes says 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted.'
