"Big Dead Place" examines daily life in Antarctica, with a look at
early explorers, the local history of the region's two largest U.S.
bases, and the internal culture of the U.S. Antarctic Program.
Working for that program, self-proclaimed "smirking lackey"
Nicholas Johnson quickly finds a world far from his preconceived
vision of a pristine frontier and a noble scientific mission.
Photos, some in color. Illustrations & maps.
