Travelogue, cultural meditation, and love story,
On the Ice
casts a panoramic view on one of the oddest communities in one of the most extreme places on earth.
Negative 70-degree weather. Canned food that dates back at least a decade. Wind storms powerful enough to lift a human off the ground. Extremely unfashionable clothing. Welcome to Antarctica, the farthest-away place in the world.
Hoping to get away from the complexities of her life, Gretchen Legler arrives at McMurdo Station with the intention of researching the landscape; what she finds, instead, is a zany population of misfits and dreamers. Populated by people from all walks of life—bankers, MBAs, therapists, carpenters, scientists, laborers, and military brass—the individuals that Legler meets have gone to Antarctica to escape everything from parking tickets to angry spouses.
Part sociological study, part historiography, and part love story,
is an exploration of one of the most unexplored places on earth and the people who are drawn to it.
