The good doctor isn't always a sympathetic character, either, leaving her old life in shambles and heading to the Pole while her father was seemingly on his death bed. Even now, more than 15 months after Nielsen's emergency evacuation from the Pole, she hasn't been able to arrange a reunion with her three teenage children.
But taken as a whole,"Ice Bound" is a worthwhile read. The details of life at the fringes of human development are fascinating, and the stages of anger, depression, and anguish Nielsen passes though ring true even to a reader who hasn't been faced with a terminal illness or been estranged from loved ones.
At one point,Nielsen writes that Antarctica is a "blank slate on which you could write your soul." In "Ice Bound," Nielsen bares her soul warts, frostbite, and all.
