Many Are Cold But Few Are Frozen: Plain Tales From Antarctica

Plain Tales from Antarctica are short stories based on real incidents that occurred during the author?s two-year stay as a meteorologist at Halley 3, a British Research base in Antarctica located about 500 miles from the South Pole. In 1973 to 1975, Graham Chambers was part of an eighteen-man (no women) research group that lived in this fascinating yet unforgiving landscape. He writes: ?It was a unique experience and one with sights, sounds and smells which are not forgotten after forty years. ?Each story is based on real events and essentially is a true recollection, barring a strictly limited amount of literary licence and the limitations of human recollection. It is worth mentioning in this respect the ? witness? phenomenon, whereby 12 people can witness the very same event and produce at least half a dozen unique recollections of it.?Thanks are due to the characters who inadvertently animated the stories. Some names have been changed and others not.?
