Alone

Richard Byrd, on CascA

Goodness! I haven't thought of that book for decades, but it suddenly popped into my head. Admiral Byrd was one of my childhood heroes, a topnotch Antarctic explorer. Alone describes a winter spent solo at an Antarctic meteorological station, where he nearly died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

PatH: I have an old paperback copy of Alone - now all brittle and yellowed.
