Mark Bowen is a recovering physicist and recovering rock climber, who lives on a hill farm in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Pictured here in late 1999 in the galley of the old South Pole station (note the frostbite scab on the tip of his nose), he is the author most recently of The Telescope in the Ice: Inventing a New Astronomy at the South Pole (St. Martin's Press, 2017).

His previous books are Thin Ice: Unlocking the Secrets of Climate in the World's Highest Mountains (a John Macrae Book, Henry Holt, 2005) and Censoring Science: Inside the Political Attack on Dr. James Hansen and the Truth of Global Warming (Dutton, 2007).
