I read this book a few years back. It documents the journey of 4 guys rowing the course of the Yenisei River, where it rises in Mongolia on through the Russian countryside, with a severe time-limit as they can only travel during the short cold Siberian winter. They encounter many adventures along the way such as cap-sizing in freezing fast-flowing water, crossing Lake Baikal, so large that it has its own weather systems, and meeting great people along the way. One of the most interesting parts of this book was the way the group dynamics worked, or didn't. A lesson to all, to choose your fellow adventurers well.
