Christmas has been celebrated in some of the most remote, unlikely and inhospitable places on the planet. Away at Christmas draws on the journals, diaries and reminiscences of many of the world's best-known adventurers.

It is truly impressive that, however challenging the circumstances, Christmas was never forgotten.
