From the introduction: "Dogs were at Halley Bay, the most southerly British Antarctic Survey Base, for just 15 years. They are now banned from the Continent, perhaps forever. The finest form of safe ice travel ever devised had evolved to a perfection of teamwork that will never re-occur. Quite unlike the lightweight racing huskies of the North; Halley dogs were bred strong with big shoulders and amazing strength to pull thousand pound loads long distances over all surfaces."
