Gross! Living in tents on ice floes after abandoning ship near Antarctica involves giving up creature comforts to a crazy degree. These guys seem not only to bear it but enjoy it!
What a fun book to read in July!

“In all the world there is no desolation more complete than the polar night. It is a return to the Ice Age—no warmth, no life, no movement. Only those who have experienced it can fully appreciate what it means to be without the sun day after day and week after week. Few men unaccustomed to it can fight off its effects altogether, and it has driven some men mad.”
