Swept away  -  Dixie Dansercoer

KORTE INHOUD

In 2005 Dixie Dansercoer and Troy Henkels accepted the challenge to journey from Alaska to Siberia. They would cross the International Date Line in autonomous manner - skiing, walking, swimming and paddling - relying solely on their polar experience, determination and their passion for ice and snow. The moving ice masses of the Bering Strait are unique polar territory. It is unlike Antarctica where a continent has a solid grip on the enormous ice cap and it is intriguingly different from the drifting ice of the Arctic Ocean. This hugely 'dynamic' place on earth is still ghostly and mysterious. Mother Nature whisked the two adventureres into a world of high powered ice movements. This book brings you the story of a perilous enterprise, in which the passion to perform plays the leading part. It's an inspiring tale.
