In 1957, a team of eighteen men from the United States spent the winter at the South Pole. They were there to study the secrets of the earth and the sky.

The men lived in a group of buildings joined together by tunnels. They were cut off from the rest of the world. During the long winter, they could not be reached even by plane.
The men depended on one another for company. They also shared certain tasks. Everyone took turns working in the "snow mine". This was a giant cave dug into the ice beneath their camp. There, they dug out clean snow needed as a water supply.
