Title: Facing the Frozen Ocean
First published: April 2, 2004
Description: "It started out as a carefully calculated attempt to complete the first unassisted crossing of the frozen north Atlantic in an open rigid inflatable boat, but it became a terrifying battle against storm-force winds, crashing waves and icebergs as large as cathedrals." "Bear Grylls tells the inspirational story of his most recent adventure. Starting from the remote north Canadian coastline, he and his crew crossed the infamous Labrador Sea, heading through ice-strewn waters to Greenland. From there they then found themselves isolated in a perfect storm 400 miles from Iceland." "For one long day and endless night, as their small boat was relentlessly tossed and battered by massive waves, their lives hung in the balance." "'We will live through this. We will not let this boat capsize.' Grylls yelled over the deafening roar of the engine and howling storm. 'We will get home.' And they did. Just. This is their story."--BOOK JACKET.
