First-time author Webb chronicles his adventure taking a small open row boat around an Arctic island. With one companion, Webb, an undergraduate geography student at the time, rowed through pack ice and past glaciers and icebergs, mostly for the adventure. He describes a frozen wilderness that soon may become a casualty of global warming, and he and his companion happen to have been the first to have successfully circumnavigated the remote island of Spitsbergen. Small boat sailors as well as armchair adventurers will want to read this book. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
