This simple request turned into an exchange of skills, which then grew into a joint expedition to Greenland's unexplored Lemon Mountains. Sea, Ice and Rock is the story of this epic journey. With both Bonington and Knox-Johnston having little experience in the other's craft, their expedition was not without difficulty. But through one another's support, the two men and their team sailed from Britain to Greenland, going on to twice attempt the Lemon Mountain's forbidding highest peak, the Cathedral. Though their attempts ended in a dramatic descent, this could not dampen the unfailing optimism with which the two approached their task. They recount their experiences not only with appreciation for the awe-inspiring nature that surrounded them, but also for one another. Layers of alternate narration between Bonington and Knox-Johnston make this a truly collaborative memoir. In the same way they exchanged skills on their expedition, the two authors rely on one another's recollections to fill the gaps in their own. Full of ambition and perseverance, anyone wondering why Bonington and Knox-Johnston are masters in their fields need only read Sea, Ice and Rock. *588 $aDescription based on print version record. *650 0$aSailing$zArctic regions.$_173457700 *650 0$aSnow and ice climbing$zArctic regions.$_173457800 *650 0$aYachting$zArctic regions.$_173457900 *7001 $aKnox-Johnston, Robin,$eauthor.$_173458000 *77608$z1912560526 *77608$z9781912560523 *906 $aBOOK *999 $aoai:nb.bibsys.no:999920071303802202$b2021-11-14T20:19:28Z$z999920071303802202 ^
