INTO THE GREAT EMPTINESS: Peril and Survival on the Greenland Ice Cap

August Courtauld made an offer to monitor the station solo through the winter. When a team went up in March to relieve Courtauld, they could find no trace of him or the station. By the end of March, he was buried under an immovable load of snow and was disastrously short on supplies. On April 21, Gino Watkins set out inland with two companions to find and rescue him. Photos.
