Sinopsis

When leading mountaineeráSir Chris Boningtonáwas researchingáQuest for Adventure, his study of post-war adventure, he contactedáSir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail single-handed and non-stop around the world, for an interview. This simple request turned into an exchange of skills, which then grew into a joint expedition to Greenland&rsquo,s unexploredáLemon Mountains.áSea, Ice and Rockáis the story of this epic journey.With botháBoningtonáandáKnox-Johnstonáhaving little experience in the other&rsquo,s craft, their expedition was not without difficulty. But through one another&rsquo,s support, the two men and their team sailed from Britain to Greenland, going on to twice attempt theáLemon Mountain&rsquo,sáforbidding highest peak,áthe 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 betweenáBoningtonáandáKnox-Johnstonámake this a truly collaborative memoir. In the same way they exchanged skills on their expedition, the two authors rely on one another&rsquo,s recollections to fill the gaps in their own. Full of ambition and perseverance, anyone wondering whyáBoningtonáandáKnox-Johnstonáare masters in their fields need only readáSea, Ice and Rock.
