...Loneliness is an appalling depressant by itself. For all his Navy training and lofty motivation, a six-month Antarctic night threw Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd into depression. Airman Donald Farrell, after less than a week of far less severe isolation in a ground-bound cabin (TIME. Feb. 24), became not only irritable but hostile.
