Two Below Zero: A Year Alone in Antarctica by Don and Margie McIntyre is a gripping firsthand account of the couple's extraordinary year-long stay at Cape Denison, one of the most inhospitable places on Earth. In 1995, inspired by the legacy of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson, they became the first modern adventurers to overwinter in this remote Antarctic location, enduring relentless blizzards with winds exceeding 240 km/h and temperatures plunging to -32°C. Living in a compact 2.4 by 3.6-meter hut dubbed "Gadget Hut," they faced profound isolation, psychological strain, and the physical challenges of surviving in a frozen wilderness. Their narrative, enriched by personal diaries and striking photographs, delves into the raw realities of extreme exploration, offering a compelling testament to human resilience and the enduring allure of the unknown.
