Summary of Beyond the Horizon: The Great Race to Finish the First Human-Powered Circumnavigation of the Planet

In June 2004, Colin Angus and his wife Julie left from Vancouver, Canada on a two year odyssey that included rowing across two oceans, hiking over three continents, and exploring 17 countries. They managed the first rowboat crossing of the Bering Sea, traveled through the coldest lands in Siberia, and trekked alongside nomadic reindeer herders. The goal? To be the first people to circumnavigate the globe entirely under their own power-and to promote no-or-low emission transportation as a means to combat climate change. Dubbed "Adventurers of the Year 2006" by National Geographic Adventure Magazine, and telling a tale of what Outside Magazine calls "one of the last great expeditions," Colin Angus delivers a powerful message that will capture the attention of environmentally committed readers everywhere.
