Many are Cold but Few are Frozen: Plain tales from Antarctica<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Chambers-Cover-Web\"Plain Tales from Antarctica<\/span><\/i> are short stories based on real incidents that occurred during the author\u2019s two-year stay as a meteorologist at Halley 3, a British Research base in Antarctica located about 500 miles from the South Pole.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1973 to 1975, Graham Chambers was part of an eighteen-man (no women) research group that lived in this fascinating yet unforgiving landscape.<\/p>\n

He writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a unique experience and one with sights, sounds and smells which are not forgotten after forty years.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cEach 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 \u2018witness\u2019 phenomenon, whereby 12 people can witness the very same event and produce at least half a dozen unique recollections of it.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks are due to the characters who inadvertently animated the stories. Some names have been changed and others not.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
