<p>When leading mountaineer&nbsp;<strong>Sir Chris Bonington</strong>&nbsp;was researching&nbsp;<em>Quest for Adventure</em> his study of post-war adventure he contacted&nbsp;<strong>Sir Robin Knox-Johnston</strong> 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 unexplored&nbsp;<strong>Lemon Mountains</strong>.&nbsp;<strong><em>Sea Ice and Rock</em></strong>&nbsp;is the story of this epic journey.</p><p>With both&nbsp;<strong>Bonington</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Knox-Johnston</strong>&nbsp;having 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 the&nbsp;<strong>Lemon Mountain&rsquo;s</strong>&nbsp;forbidding highest peak&nbsp;<strong>the Cathedral</strong>. 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.</p><p>Layers of alternate narration between&nbsp;<strong>Bonington&nbsp;</strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Knox-Johnston</strong>&nbsp;make 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 why<strong>&nbsp;Bonington</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Knox-Johnston</strong>&nbsp;are masters in their fields need only read&nbsp;<strong><em>Sea Ice and Rock</em>.</strong></p>
