Description

Sailing into the Unknown: Roger Taylor's Impossible Voyage In the far north of Russia, across the icy waters of the Barents Sea, lies the desolate archipelago of Franz Josef Land. One of its most inaccessible seas is the Queen Victoria Sea, a journey that few have attempted to conquer. In his latest book, Roger Taylor recounts his successful attempt to sail into these treacherous waters. Weighing over 50 years of experience in small-boat ocean sailing, this voyage marks the culmination of Taylor's remarkable career. He navigates through pack ice and weathers the most northerly point of the Svalbard islands before embarking on a journey due east along 81°North to the north-west coast of Franz Josef Land. Taylor's writing combines vivid description with deep reflection, humour, and an intimate knowledge of ocean species, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in sailing and exploration.
