Picked this up in the bank of all places - they have a charity books table - and read it in a couple of days.
Written by a guy called David Mercy, it tells the tale of a relatively short voyage from Cape Horn to Antarctica - a few weeks at most - but one which is filled with drama, not the least of which involves the relationships between the three crew members and how they cope - or in at least one case doesn't cope - with the rigours of life in the polar wastes.
Not sure how hyberbolic it is, but it is a good if chilling - pun intended - read!
