Computer trouble

Last night, my modem died about 2 AM (sorry nbrooks)
So, I'll see if it's back up when I get home. I'm using wifi from the Toyota dealership while the instrumentation short is repaired.

Question: It looks like we're sending Edward and Charlie to the North Pole.
Can anyone rec a few good polar exploration books? Island at the top of the world, maybe? At the Mountains of Madness?
The Terror of the Frozen North (a Lord Withycombe novel) is in train nicely for characters and personal conflict. Now I need that setting stuff we do so well.

Have you read Farley Mowat's Never Cry Wolf?

I wish I could recommend my favorite camp frozen north book

Susanna of the Yukon by Muriel Denison, but it's so scarce you can hardly even get it from a library any more. It's also not quite polar. I do heartily wish you could read it, though, for the scenes where Susannah and her family ascend and descend the famous Chilkoot Pass. The information is also seriously outdated, but the style's so, so um...precious.
