Description: In January 1942, a small force sent to Antarctica is shelled, and with "their shelter and supplies gone, cut off from contact with the outside world ... [they] must struggle to complete their task and to endure in that hostile environment for the many months that must pass until help can reach them. Only one man makes it, and he claims both to have lost his memory and to long to return to his Antarctic purgatory. Why?"--Jacket.
