Standing on the Ocean: A Layman's Arctic Adventure (Kindle Format)

Product Information
Expressing the vague desire to "get out of town," and searching for adventure, David Fanning unexpectedly finds himself on thin ice 125 miles off-shore of Deadhorse, Alaska in the Arctic Ocean, taking orders from a 18-year-old girl, and being tormented by malfunctioning equipment and the silly songs of the eccentric scientist who leads the small research team he has been hired to help. This funny, detailed, and insightful account of a month of field research in the vicinity of the Prudhoe Bay oil fields, will not only give you a better appreciation for the dangers and pleasures of polar scientific research, but will certainly convince you to spend your own holiday adventures in a much warmer location.
