Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge
划船至纬度:北极边缘的旅程
Jill Fredston
吉尔·弗雷德斯顿(Jill Fredston)
Description Jill Fredston has traveled more than twenty thousand miles of the Arctic and sub-Arctic-backwards. With her ocean-going rowing shell and her husband, Doug Fesler, in a small boat of his own, she has disappeared every summer for years, exploring the rugged shorelines of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Spitsbergen, and Norway. Carrying what they need to be self-sufficient, the two of them have battled mountainous seas and hurricane-force winds, dragged their boats across jumbles of ice, fended off grizzlies and polar bears, been serenaded by humpback whales and scrutinized by puffins, and reveled in moments of calm. As Fredston writes, these trips are neither a vacation nor an escape, they are a way of life. Rowing to Latitude is a lyrical, vivid celebration of these northern journeys and the insights they inspired. It is a passionate testimonial to the extraordinary grace and fragility of wild places, the power of companionship, the harsh but liberating reality of risk, the lure of discovery, and the challenges and joys of living an unconventional life.
描述吉尔·弗雷德斯顿(Jill Fredston)已走过两万多英里的北极和后北极地区。她带着远洋的划艇贝壳和丈夫道格·费斯勒(Doug Fesler)独自一人乘小船,多年来每年夏天都消失不见,探索崎exploring的阿拉斯加,加拿大,格陵兰,斯匹次卑尔根和挪威的海岸线。他们两个人要自给自足,他们曾在山区海洋和飓风中挣扎,将船拖到一团冰上,抵御了灰熊和北极熊,被座头鲸小夜曲和海雀盯着,以及陶醉在平静的时刻。正如弗雷德斯顿(Fredston)所写,这些旅行既不是休假也不是逃逸,而是一种生活方式。划船到纬度是对这些北方旅程及其启发的见解的抒情生动生动的庆祝活动。这是对野生环境非凡的优雅和脆弱,陪伴的力量,艰苦而自由的冒险现实,发现的诱惑以及非常规生活所带来的挑战和快乐的热情见证。
