Ice Bound: A Doctor's Incredible Battle for Survival at the South Pole by Jerri Nielsen

5.0

I really enjoyed this memoir about the author’s experience as a doctor at the South Pole who gets breast cancer while there in the winter when no transports can come in or out. She has to treat herself with the help of her fellow Polies and was evacuated early in a risky flight mission. I love memoirs and I love arctic/Antarctic adventures, so this was right up my alley. I could also relate to her experience as a breast cancer patient, having been one myself. Good read.
