The story of a young Kiwi surveyor who achieved his dream of exploring and mapping many of these mountains and glaciers. Arriving at Scott Base in October 1960 for a 16-month assignment, he spent two summer seasons sledging and surveying through the mountains and around the edge of the frigid Polar Plateau -- the spectacular region made famous by Shackleton, Scott and Amundsen half a century earlier. Wintering over between seasons and working with British explorer, Wally Herbert, to look after five teams of huskies, he became nursemaid to their 20 entertaining pups.
