Informationen zum Autor Nigel Foster is a world-renowned kayaker and an accomplished author. He also designs kayaks and kayaking gear. Some of his other books include Nigel Foster's Sea Kayaking, Nigel Foster's Surf Kayaking, and Encounters from a Kayak. Klappentext On Polar Tides is the gripping true-life adventure story of kayaking legend Nigel Foster's two unprecedented polar kayaking expeditions along the coast of Northern Labrador; one an epic survival story, which included the first solo crossing of the Hudson Strait, and the second, a return to the scene of his rescue 20 years earlier-navigating some of the harshest coastal conditions on the planet along with his girlfriend, Kristin Nelson. The story offers an intimate and insightful view of Ungava and Labrador, and a glimpse of how the extremes of nature and mutual suffering can bring people together.
