This simple request turned into an exchange of skills, which then grew into a joint expedition to Greenland's unexplored <strong>Lemon Mountains</strong>. <strong><em>Sea, Ice and Rock</em></strong> is the story of this epic journey.</p><p>With both <strong>Bonington</strong> and <strong>Knox-Johnston</strong> 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 <strong>Lemon Mountain's</strong> forbidding highest peak, <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 <strong>Bonington </strong>and <strong>Knox-Johnston</strong> 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<strong> Bonington</strong> and <strong>Knox-Johnston</strong> are masters in their fields need only read <strong><em>Sea, Ice and Rock</em>.</strong></p>
