Ice Bound: A Doctor's Incredible Battle for Survival at the South Pole by Jerri Nielsen
4.0
The writing isn't great! With that said, life at the South Pole is something I will never experience, I don't have anything to offer a team of scientists, so this book is one of the closest ways I have of being there. What an experience it was to read about life at the South Pole, experiencing nearly one year within the pages.
Add to the story of life at the South Pole the urgency that a cancer diagnosis takes on when the patient is the doctor who is sent to the South Pole to take care of everyone else's health. Her experience reminded me of the nurses who were part of the Bataan Death March, caring for the soldiers as they battled disease, hunger, injuries, and other war elements.
