Antarctica: Ice and magic, colorful auroras and costume parties, adorable penguins and wrinkly dishpan hands, lingering sunsets and gradual memory loss. Or at least, that was Susan's experience. Susan Munroe, adventurer and aspiring writer, spent six months as a cafeteria worker at McMurdo Station, one of three US research bases in Antarctica. For her, "The Ice" was as much about the people as it was the place. Hear stories and see photos of unimaginable cold and wind, of 24-hour sun, of the huts where Scott and Shackleton passed their winters, and of life on the coldest, highest, windiest, driest continent on earth.
