pollex Posted October 20, 2021 #4 Posted October 20, 2021 I remember reading "South" by Sir Ernest Shackleton in the 60's, as a teenager. I was lying outside in the bright July sun, the glare from the pages almost blinding me, but I was shivering as I read about the cold Antarctic Ice crushing the hull of "Endurance" Brrr.
