Dave in the Arctic Life and trial in endless polar dark
A vivid account of a year spent in an arctic hut at 80 degree N lat. Six men endured confinement for three years in a 20 by 20 by 7 foot space facing perpetual darkness, extreme cold, and isolation. Despite hardship, the author notes the experience as oddly happy and transformative, with the monthly moonlight and eventual return of sunlight shaping daily life.
