Description
Annotation,In 1988 and again in 1992, paleontologist John Long went fossil hunting in the coldest place on Earth -- the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. As a scientist, he went seeking specimens of fossilized fish, but as a human being, Long went seeking adventure -- and the experience changed his life forever. Through many dangerous, occasionally comical, but always genuinely moving experiences, his life was fundamentally altered. Mountains of Madness is a moving saga of science, exploration, and human endurance. His is a story of how real science is practiced in a unique and demanding setting -- where scientists come close to sacrificing their lives in the pure and simple quest for knowledge.
