Sarah Myles in conversation with Mike White.
When an Air New Zealand sightseeing plane crashed into the lower slopes of Mount Erebus in Antarctica in 1979, all 257 people on board lost their lives. The surrounding media storm drowned out the stories of those at the heart of the tragedy: the families who lost someone, and the people who worked so hard to bring loved ones home.
In 'Towards the Mountain', Sarah Myles uses extensive research and interviews to weave together the stories of her grandfather, his fellow adventurers and the first responders. This is the story of what happened and its enduring impact on those most affected.
Sarah Myles is a writer of creative non-fiction. Her debut work 'Towards the Mountain: A Story of Grief and Hope Forty Years on from Erebus' was shortlisted for the 2020 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.
In conjunction with the Hawkes Bay Readers and Writers Festival.
