MCMURDO SOUND Antarctica AP Man's behavior under South Pole isolation may guide long space missions. Polar transportation expert Palle Mogensen led a yearlong party of nine scientists and eight Navy men. They faced months of darkness and temps down to 100 degrees below zero with few conflicts. Diaries reveal small irritations over habits, but group censure kept harmony. Psychologists will study these diaries to infer how crews stay civil in cramped voyages.
