Ex-Royal Marine, Peter Webb and a companion went off to islands 600 miles south of the North Pole in a light boat.As the blurb says:
"This is the story of an impossible boat journey that two men made for the fun of it. They rowed through pack ice and polar bears, survived whales, starvation and capsize and in doing so they completed the first circumnavigation of the Arctic island Spitsbergen in an open row boat. Along the way they learned about themselves, about life and experienced a wilderness that will most likely disappear before the century is out. It's a story for small boat sailors, lovers of ice and snow and anybody who knows anybody who wanted to run away to sea....."
