There, she fell in lovenot only with her future partner, but with the raw, inhospitable, incomparable beauty of the continent itself.She took trips to nowhere on the Antarctic ice and mapped out the most romantic date locations on a remote research base where the sun never sets.She witnessed the bright green aurora australis at -30°F, cried in response to its beauty, and found her eyes frozen shut by her tears.She learned about (literally) breathtaking katabatic winds, ventifacts, andwhat it was like to bake cookies for 1000.She dropped a piece of glacier ice into a glass of booze and consumed the ancient air bubbles that were trapped within it. In thisemotionalblend of art, science, and deeply personal stories,Ott shares the wisdom and wonder gleaned from her four trips to the southernmost continent.
