Synopsis
Excerpt from The Worst Journey in the World, Vol. 2 of 2: Antarctic, 1910-1913
Inside was pandemonium. Most men had gone to bed, and I have a blurred memory of men in pyjamas and dressing-gowns getting hold of me and trying to get the chunks of armour which were my clothes to leave my body.

Then into my warm blanket bag, and I managed to keep awake just long enough to think that Paradise must feel something like this.
