![]() ![]() Cold in the South Pole is probably - and I am relying on my imagination here - like fire and knives combined. Cold like the South Pole is beyond cold such as what is found in your freezer. The continent thought, " well, I can't count on malaria and dengue to discourage visitors, let's mess with their minds directly through cold". Antarctica is the remotest, coldest, and loneliest place on earth. It is a direct, touching, and humane story of a self imposed exile to the South Pole for a woman who was a tough customer and who was adventurous to her bones. I took my time reading Jerri Nielsen's memoir. She and death went from this mortal world hand in hand. And though I was temporarily monumentally gutted about Nielsen dying as far back as in 2009, I was glad because she beat her cancer the first time around, and was ready for the cruel and fated rematch where the cancer took her on her terms. One of the first things I did when I read Ice Bound was to check on Nielsen's wiki page. ![]()
