Cold: The Record of an Antarctic Sledge Journey

COLD: The Record of an Antarctic Sledge Journey, first published in 1931, is the account of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition by its second in command, Laurence Gould. The book documents life at the "Little America" base station and provides a lively account of the group's five-person, 1500 mile dog-sled journey across Antarctica. COLD, filled with details of cold-weather equipment and survival, cooking and food needs, the Antarctic landscape, their hardy dogs, and more, remains a classic in the field of Antarctic literature. Included are 37 pages of photographs and maps.
