“Nine out of every ten people the first time they meet me ask, “How did you stand the cold?” As a matter of fact, the cold of the Arctic regions to a well man, properly fed and properly clothed, is no more serious than is the cold of our own winters to us here. But the darkness, the months-long winter night! That is different.”
― Jon Gertner, The Ice at the End of the World
