Viaje al blanco es el relato en forma de diario personal de los nueve días de una expedición que recorrió los últimos 111 km hasta el Polo Norte Geográfico, lo que se conoce como el Último Grado hasta el Polo Norte. La expedicion se realizo en abril de 2009, justo durante el centenario de la llegada al Polo Norte de Robert E. Peary. El relato acerca al lector los retos y dificultades, satisfacciones y desilusiones de una expedicion en un ambiente hostil de hielo y nieve permanentes. El estilo es sencillo y con un cierto toque humoristico que hace de el una lectura amena, centrandose en los pequeños detalles asi como en la globalidad del paisaje. El diario describe el dia a dia de una expedicion polar actual, profundiza en la historia y la compara con las expediciones precedentes, y analiza las causas y las voluntades que llevan al ser humano a sobrepasar los limites naturales para explorar el mundo y encontrar lo que hay mas alla de sus fronteras conocidas.
