Eschewing normal desires for comfort and security, Wayne White undertakes extraordinary adventures, far off the beaten path, from which we learn much. --Kevin Lee, member of the Explorers Club and the Adventurers Club Wayne White is one of the most interesting and accomplished adventurers I've ever met. This book is about an important chapter of his life when he served as the leader of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station for three (yes, three) winters. A must-read for anyone interested in Antarctica and the spirit of adventure. --Jeff Holmes, past president of the Adventurers Club of Los Angeles The ultimate checkbox for the world traveler's bucket list is the South Pole. Several well-heeled tourists make it for the selfie, but to really experience the South Pole, you need to overwinter and become a 'polie' to experience truest night and the deepest cold. Texan Wayne White has been there and done that. --West Hansen, author of The Amazon from Source to Sea: The Farthest Journey down the World's Longest River
