Billy tells us the gripping story of his adventures in some of the remotest parts of the world.

In the summer of 2008, Billy Connolly set sail on a ten-week journey from ocean to ocean: from the Atlantic to the Pacific, by way of the North West Passage—a fabled route deep within the Arctic Circle that has thwarted explorers and fortune-hunters for centuries.

For Cook, Drake, and countless other adventurers, the North West Passage was an alluring but impossible journey, a trial of unparalleled physical and mental strength, a haunting and fascinating wilderness. Today, the melting of the polar icecaps makes it accessible for the first time.

Billy's adventure in Journey to the Edge of the World embraces a memorable mix of bizarre encounters, Hemingway-esque characters, incredible wildlife, forgotten languages, big game hunting, and all-night carousing under the midnight sun.
