This collection combines two of Bear Grylls' most exciting adventures - Facing Up and Facing the Frozen Ocean. In Facing Up, Bear recounts how, only two years after breaking his back in a free-fall parachuting accident, he overcame severe weather conditions, fatigue, dehydration and a last-minute illness to stand on top of the world's highest mountain.
It started out as a carefully calculated attempt to complete the first unassisted crossing of the frozen north Atlantic in a rigid inflatable boat. It became a terrifying battle against storm-force winds, crashing waves and icebergs as large as cathedrals. Starting from the remote north Canadian coastline, 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. This journey is detailed in Facing the Frozen Ocean.
