1 comments about The Silent Sound: Two Years In Antarctica And The Story of the First Winter Occupation of Alexander Island.
- The two year journal of a teacher & meterioroligist who answered an ad to go to Antarctica. The tale of his experiences and observations. At that time the British presence in the Antarctica region was called the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey. This changed once the Antarctic treaty was sicned in 1961 (while Pearce was in Antarctica). Passingly interesting and funny in places, dry and tedious in others. Would never have finished the book if I hadn't been there and interested in the area. Intersperses his experiences and tales with a review of the history of scientific expeditions in the past.
Obviously from a different era. They dumped their sewage directly into the water, threw garbage out the door to be delt with by the wind, and killed seals to feed the sled dogs. None of these happen anymore.
The worth of this book is that he experienced the end of an era.
