When leading mountaineer Sir Chris Bonington was researching Quest
for Adventure, his study of post-war adventure, he contacted Sir
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'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.
