"Living in the Antarctic in the 1960's was not for the faint of heart. The few men on each base lived in small wooden huts, heated by coal stoves. Water was from melted snow blocks, and travel over the frozen terrain was with husky dog teams. The men made their own entertainment. They had to get on with each other, as they were isolated for eight months at a time until the relief ship could get through the sea ice. The experience left an indelible memory on all who lived in the Antarctic. South of Sixty describes this life, and contrasts it with the changes in present-day Antarctica."—Back cover.
