Antarctica has assumed an aura of mystique and romance given all the focus on Antarctic explorers and adventure; so it's refreshing to see quite a different--even funny--view of the place which demolishes the mystique and entertains a more realistic, modern view in Big Dead Place: Inside The Strange & Menacing World Of Antarctica. Envision sterile buildings housing nuts--such as a manager who fills his boots with antifreeze--and you have an idea of the odd personalities and non-heroic moments permeating the wonderful read which is Big Dead Place.
