...Navy research installation. Eight-hundred miles out on the ice, in an area usually populated only by polar bears, seals, and occasional gulls, four British explorers have set up a summer camp on a floe of old ice. They have been traveling for more than four months by dog sled...
These four men, led by a veteran Antarctic cartographer and explorer named Wally Herbert, comprise the British Trans-Arctic Expedition, and their aim is to drive by sled from Barrow to the Pole and down to Spitzbergen Island--3,500 miles all told.

Tony is shipped off to arctic survival school, where the poor twerp shaves in leftover coffee, sleeps with a nice warm sled dog and sits miserably slurping puree of blubber in the path of a polar blizzard. Scott meanwhile reclines contentedly (though temporarily) in the soft white arms of Tony's missus, who comfily explains: "I've always wanted two of everything...
