Lucky guy! Roff Smith first hitched a ride to The Ice with the Australians in the early 1990s, spending a time at Mawson Base over on the other side. He returned to McMurdo with the U.S. Antarctic Program, landed a third voyage on a Antarctic Peninsula-bound tour vessel and tooled around on the Falkland Islands-based yacht Golden Fleece. This lively account of his travels and encounters was originally published in Australia in 2002.  (ANT219, $16.00)
