Ice Bound: A Doctor's Incredible Battle For Survival At The South Pole

Extraordinary story. I love the drama and the descriptions of life at the bottom of the world. The only downside is that Dr. Nielsen herself comes off as kind of a jerk. You don't want her to die, of course. But still, she elicits less sympathy than if she were, well, not a jerk.
