Madhouse at the End of the Earth

The story of this Antarctic voyage is intense and less well-known. I'm curious how Sancton chose this particular expedition to highlight human endurance and exploration.

The detailed account of their hardships really made me root for them, but also left me wondering how much is dramatized versus strictly factual.

The book reads like a gripping adventure, so I wonder what choices were made to make the technical details accessible without losing tension.
