Dr Niall McCann is a National Geographic Explorer, adventurer and Mountain Rescuer, who has been leading multi-disciplinary expeditions to remote and hostile environments for over 25 years. Niall has rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, skied across Greenland and the Vatnajokull Icecap, cycled over the Himalayas, canoed the Yukon River, and been on multiple rock climbing and mountaineering trips around the world. In 2016 Niall broke his back in a speed flying accident, leaving him with a permanent spinal cord injury that affects every aspect of his life. In the years since his injury Niall has found ways to overcome his disability and has returned to a life of adventure, joining the mountain rescue team that rescued him, and leading a team of three spinal cord injury patients to ski across the largest icecap in Europe. Beautifully illustrated with images from his expeditions, “Bloody but Unbowed” is a story of leadership, determination and endurance, of a life spent pushing the limits, and of overcoming a life-changing injury to return to the mountains as both an adventurer and a Mountain Rescuer.
