The book is designed to guide safe navigation and environmentally friendly sailing for yachts in polar waters.

The guide addresses common hazards such as low temperatures, limited rescue resources, and the effects of ice on navigation. The book is divided into three parts, each of which provides detailed recommendations for different polar regions, as well as appendices with useful information and environmental considerations. The main goal is to ensure the safety and protection of the environment while swimming in vulnerable polar ecosystems.
