Description: An epic story of hardship, friendship and faith.' Daily Telegraph Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, this is the compelling account of the most recent adventure of the bestselling author of Facing Up. 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. Starting from the remote north Canadian coastline, Bear Grylls and his crew crossed the infamous Labrador Sea, pushed on through ice-strewn waters to Greenland and then found themselves isolated in a perfect storm 400 miles from Iceland. Compelling, vivid and inspirational, Facing the Frozen Ocean will appeal to all Bear Grylls' many readers and win him many more.

Review: I wanted to read this book after watching Bear on his survival series on tv and the reviews written on Amazon. What Bear and his friends went through is truly inspirational but he really made me mad and angry when he was told to wait for a break in the weather twice but continued and nearly got them all killed, even a cruise liner had to turn back because of the seas. He comes across as if he has a right to go right on the edge of death taking his friends with him, I don't know if this is to do with his Army training and being in the special forces and pushing yourself as far as you can go and beyond. I think the boat design wasn't thought through as not having a place to sleep and dry off and to get out of the relentless weather/seas/storms was a big mistake, sleeping in a 'sardine can' sounded like a punishment to me, crazy.
