Ледяной ад

Campbell's portrayal of mental resilience in extreme conditions is compelling. I'm curious how much of that was based on real experiences or pure imagination.

The icy landscape creates such a sense of isolation, but I wonder if it also amplifies the characters' fears and paranoias. Would the story have been as effective in a different setting?

The slow build-up kept me on edge, but I’m curious if others felt it was the right choice for maintaining suspense or if it dragged at points.
