{"product_id":"2940158002168","title":"Mingming II \u0026 the Islands of the Ice","description":"In his fourth book, singlehanded sailor Roger D. Taylor takes us once more to the remote corners of the Arctic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSailing his newly-created yacht Mingming II, Roger ventures into the Baring Sea and explores the islands of north-eastern Svalbard. During the 55-day voyage to waters seldom sailed in, he encounters everything from walruses to inquisitive humpback whales to massive ice cliffs, and nearly rescues a beautiful Russian girl from Bear Island. On his way back he makes his third visit to the island of Jan Mayen, deep in the Norwegian Sea, and there fulfils a long-held ambition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcutely observational and well-laced with Taylor's wry humour, the book is as much an exploration of what is possible with one man, one simple boat and one home-made sail, as a journey to some of the planet's bleakest and most beautiful islands.","brand":"Matador Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071615680752,"sku":"2940158002168","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158002168_p0.jpg?v=1764109233","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158002168","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
