Antarctica: the edge of the world, the last continent, the Ice. It's a place many people dream of visiting. Yet few know how to get there; and even fewer know how to survive if they do. Life on the Ice is Roff Smith's collection of fascinating stories drawn from his various experiences in this cold corridor of the world. From the beauty of the blue-white landscape to the brutality of its subdegree temperatures, Smith paints a complete and compelling portrait of one of the most fascinating places in the world. While the allure of the Ice is surely that of freedom, Smith shows readers that the price one pays for that freedom is living a daily life that is indivisible from danger.
