South Pole Diary: A Nasty South Pole Storm

An excerpt from the feature-length documentary "Living in the Shadow of the Moon-Dog: A South Pole Diary" by Paul C. Daniels and Michael Pfaendtner.

In early 2001, just days before Paul C. Daniels left Detroit to spend nine months locked into the most remote and isolated outpost on the face of the planet, he bought a Sony Handy-Cam recorder to keep a video diary of his experience.

He captured the winterover lives of 50 people at the U.S. Antarctic research station "South Pole", located on the highest, driest, coldest continent on earth.

Through equipment failures, conflict, fierce storms, -100F temperatures, hypoxia, and the unexpected illness of the station's doctor, the crew could rely on no one but each other to survive.




Experience a South Pole winterover with Paul C. Daniels.

Not much worse that Minnesota? Baloney. It was -104F this year with 15 kt wind. Right now at the beginning of summer it is -49F and everyone is commenting how warm it is. The altitude here varies between 11,000 and 12,000 feet depending on air pressure, and it is completely dark 24 hours a day. It is LOT worse than Minnesota. Minnesota in January is a summer vacation-land compared to South Pole.
