This account is taken from a journal that Behrendt painstakingly kept of his 17-month expedition to Antarctica in 1957-58. It was the Winner of the Colorado Book Award. "John C. Behrendt is an internationally known scientist who has made twelve trips to Antarctica, traveling there in every decade since the 1956-58 International Geophysical Year expedition. Behrendt is currently a Fellow Emeritus and Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado-Boulder. But it was the first trip in 1957 that was (his) life-defining experience. "You can only go to Antarctica for the first time once," said the tall, lanky geophysicist (Behrendt). The book's observations on everyday life in the confined, harsh winter world of the Antarctic earned Behrendt the adult nonfiction prize from the Colorado Center for the Book in 1999. "I went to Antarctica the first time for the science and the adventure," Behrendt said recently. "But I didn't realize that adventure in Antarctica doesn't happen unless somebody makes a mistake." Those were innocent times, when the then-24-year-old graduate student and an equally youthful group of fellow scientists did "nutty and crazy things," Behrendt said. While they realized they were breaking new scientific ground, they failed to fully realize the hazards of working on the uncharted ice. His ship froze in the Antarctic ice at the beginning of his journey, breaking the propeller screw and punching a hole in the side. Killer whales would pop through thin spots in the ice shelf, eyeing the scientists as possible penguin snacks before disappearing. They pulled a man out of a suddenly yawning glacial crevasse. There were mistakes - "we just weren't careful enough," he said - but no deaths. Behrendt, though, came close to being a victim of the Antarctic on a later expedition, one of several that he led. The wingtip of a plane in which he was riding hit a mountaintop. "We thought we were 3,000 feet in the air," Behrendt said." (from an article in The Colorado News).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1956, John C. Behrendt had just earned his master's degree in geophysics and obtained a position as an assistant seismologist in the International Geophysical Year glaciological program. He sailed from Davisville, Rhode Island to spend eighteen months in Antarctica with the IGY expedition as part of a U.S. Navy-supported scientific expedition to establish Ellsworth Station on the Filchner Ice Shelf. Innocents on the Ice is a memoir based on Behrendt's handwritten journals, looking back on his daily entries describing his life and activities on the most isolated of the seven U.S. Antarctic stations. Nine civilians and thirty Navy men lived beneath the snow together, and intense personal conflicts arose during the dark Antarctic winter of 1957. Little outside contact was available to ease the tension, with no mail delivery and only occasional radio contact with families back home. The author describes the emotional stress of the living situation, along with details of his parties' explorations of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf system during the summers of 1957 and 1958. Along the hazardous 1,300-mile traverse in two Sno-Cats, the field party measured ice thickness and snow accumulation as part of an international effort to determine the balance of the Antarctic ice sheet, and made the first geological observations of the spectacular Dufek Massif in the then-unexplored Pensacola Mountains. Behrendt also draws upon his forty years of continual participation in Antarctic research to explain the changes in scientific activities and environmental awareness in Antarctica today. Including photos, maps, and a glossary identifying various forms of ice, Innocents on the Ice is a fascinating combination of the diary of a young graduate student and the reflections of the accomplished scientist he became.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine to fine condition. First edition. 1/2000 with original signed and numbered (30) matte-surface gelatin silver print of "Crocus 'Jeanne D'Arc" with tissue guards placed into photo corners at bottom of clamshell box. Elephant Folio. Unpaginated. Original off-white cloth with white lettering and original photograph laid to cover, in matching slipcase with silver print and white lettering on cover. Bright green endpapers. Volume two of van Dongen's botanical photo book trilogy Alba Nero, Vulgaris and Nudare, with an introduction by John Behrendt. In this volume van Dongen introduces thirty-two full page duotone portraits of flowers in extraordinary close-ups printed on matte paper. "The title of the book, "Vulgaris", means common, but I suspect van Dongen intends a bit of irony here. Granted, the flowers are all familiar enough; there is not a rare one among them. But the portraits are anything but ordinary." (Behrendt). Minor blemishes to clamshell box.
