Two miles up, in the heart of an ice desert a thousand miles wide, it's now or never. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is more like a moon base than anything on earth, but buried deep in the ice beneath it is an even more distant and foreboding place. Andrew Heller has been never short on stories of inadvisable adventure, and tonight he has one last chance to come home with the story of a lifetime - or die trying. "An amazing bit of GOOD South Pole fiction. If you've been there, or even THOUGHT about being there, you'll recognize a thing or two, a few of the places, perhaps some of the characters..." - Bill Spindler, South Pole Historian, www.southpolestation.com About the author: David Pablo Cohn first served with the US Antarctic Program at the South Pole Station in 2010. His fiction has drawn broad praise from armchair adventurers and seasoned Antarctic veterans alike for its gripping detailed and accurate depictions of life "on the Ice."

This prize-winning debut collection of 15 stories by the acclaimed Irish author are “among the finest contemporary stories written recently in English” (The Observer). The compassionate, witty, and unsettling short stories collected here announced Claire Keegan as one of Ireland’s most exciting and versatile new talents and earned comparison to the works of Joyce Carol Oates, Alison Lurie, Raymond Carver, and others. From the titular story about a married woman who takes a trip to the city with a single purpose in mind—to sleep with another man—Antarctica draws readers into a world of obsession, betrayal, and fragile relationships. In “Love in the Tall Grass,” Cordelia wakes on the last day of the twentieth century and sets off along the coast road to keep a date, with her lover, that has been nine years in the waiting. In “Passport Soup,” Frank Corso mourns the curious disappearance of his nine-year-old daughter and tries desperately to reach out to his shattered wife who has gone mad with grief. Throughout the collection, Keegan’s characters inhabit a world where dreams, memory, and chance can have crippling consequences for those involved. A Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2001, and recipient of the prestigious Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the William Trevor Prize, Antarctica is a rare and arresting debut. “These stories are diamonds.” —Emily Robichaud, Esquire “A keen and unflinching observer, [Keegan] will appeal to fans of Roddy Doyle.” —Publishers Weekly “Readers should look forward to seeing her next book.” —Booklist

A fictional recounting of the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, and her extraordinary fight to get there. A fictional recounting of the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, and her extraordinary fight to get there. It's the early 1930s. Antarctic open-sea whaling is booming and a territorial race for the mysterious continent between Norwegian and British-Australian interests is in full swing. Aboard a ship setting sail from Cape town carrying the Norwegian whaling magnate Lars Christensen are three women: Lillemor Rachlew, who tricked her way on to the ship and will stop at nothing to be the first woman to land on Antarctica; Mathilde Wegger, a grieving widow who's been forced to join the trip by her calculating parents-in-law; and Lars's wife, Ingrid Christensen, who has longed to travel to Antarctica since she was a girl and has made a daunting bargain with Lars to convince him to take her. Loyalties shift and melt and conflicts increase as they pass through the Southern Ocean and reach the whaling grounds. None of the women is prepared for the reality of meeting the whaling fleet and experiencing firsthand the brutality of the icy world. As they head for the continent itself, the race is on for the first woman to land on Antarctica. None of them expect the outcome and none of them know how they will be changed by their arrival. Based on the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, Jesse Blackadder has captured the drama, danger and magnetic pull of exploring uncharted places in our world and our minds.

Winner of the Lascaux Prize in Fiction A warmhearted comedy of errors set in the world’s harshest place, Ashley Shelby's South Pole Station is a wry and witty debut novel about the courage it takes to band together when everything around you falls apart. Do you have digestion problems due to stress? Do you have problems with authority? How many alcoholic drinks to you consume a week? Would you rather be a florist or a truck driver? These are some of the questions that determine if you have what it takes to survive at South Pole Station, a place with an average temperature of -54°F and no sunlight for six months a year. Cooper Gosling has just answered five hundred of them. Her results indicate she is abnormal enough for Polar life. Cooper’s not sure if this is an achievement, but she knows she has nothing to lose. Unmoored by a recent family tragedy, she’s adrift at thirty and—despite her early promise as a painter—on the verge of sinking her career. So she accepts her place in the National Science Foundation’s Artists & Writers Program and flees to Antarctica, where she encounters a group of misfits motivated by desires as ambiguous as her own. The only thing the Polies have in common is the conviction that they don’t belong anywhere else. Then a fringe scientist arrives, claiming climate change is a hoax. His presence will rattle this already-imbalanced community, bringing Cooper and the Polies to the center of a global controversy and threatening the ancient ice chip they call home.

The wide white page spans eight centuries of writing - from Dante's epic account of Ulysses's last southbound ocean journey to Michael Chabon's writing of a WWII US army base on the ice, in Kavalier and Clay. There is fiction and poetry from nearly a dozen different countries, and genres range from Coleridge's Rime of the ancient mariner, via H.P. Lovecraft's Gothic fantasy and Kim Stanley Robinson future fiction, to the surreal comedy of Monty Python's Scott of the Sahara." --book jacket.
