Antarctic Night: One Man's Story of 28,224 Hours at the Bottom of the World, first published in 1957, is author Jack Bursey's account of his lengthy experiences in the Antarctic. Bursey (1903-1980), accompanied Commander Richard E.

Byrd to Antarctica in 1927 and 1939. On his second expedition, Bursey would make one of the longest dog-sled journeys ever recorded - over 1,200 miles in 83 days.

In World War II, Bursey served as an officer in the U. S.

Coast Guard in the Philippines before returning to the region in 1955. Antarctic Night is a fascinating look at the early days of Antarctic exploration, the establishment of the Little America bases, the use of dog-teams and sno-cats for transportation, the living conditions of the men, and their struggle with the cold and long periods of winter darkness.

Included are 17 pages of illustrations. .
