Around Iceland on inspiration - Riaan Manser

Around Iceland on Inspiration is the raw, unvarnished story of Riaan Manser’s toughest challenge yet: circumnavigating Iceland by kayak, accompanied by Dan Skinstad, who suffers from mild cerebral palsy.

On his previous journeys, Riaan was a solo adventurer, but the journey around Iceland requires him to take responsibility for another person’s life. Riaan and Dan are confronted by icy seas, harsh and unpredictable weather and physical exhaustion. The demands of the journey, and the life-threatening situations in which they find themselves, test the boundaries of their friendship, while logistical trials and the mental and emotional drama of tense team dynamics push the expedition to the brink of disaster.

Around Iceland on Inspiration is a story of the inspiration, courage and determination to tackle an adventure and see it through – warts and all. Around Iceland on Inspiration will compel and inspire readers who enjoyed Around Africa on My Bicycle and Around Madagascar on My Kayak.
