Jonathan Franklin ist Autor und investigativer Reporter mit Sitz in Südamerika. Als Korrespondent für den Guardian, die Washington Post und den Sydney Morning Herald hat er in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten über die wichtigsten Nachrichten des Kontinents berichtet. Geboren und aufgewachsen in den Bergen von New Hampshire, begann er bald nach dem Laufen mit dem Skifahren und hat die Hänge der Anden unter den besten und schlechtesten Bedingungen erkundet. Sein einziger Rat an Neulinge südlich des Äquators lautet, sich mit Sonnencreme einzucremen - Sie werden nicht glauben, wie sonnig diese Pisten werden. Franklins Bücher befassen sich mit dem extremen Überleben und umfassen die Saga der eingeschlossenen chilenischen Bergleute (33 Men) und eines Fischers, der 14 Monate lang auf See verschollen war (438 Days).
