Graham Chambers, who grew up in England and lived and worked (as a linguist and editor) in Luxembourg for 33 years, took Luxembourg nationality and currently lives in southern Portugal, has had his first book published, entitled "MANY ARE COLD BUT FEW ARE FROZEN: PLAIN TALES FROM ANTARCTICA", thanks in no small part to previously working for the British Antarctic Survey in the mid 1970s.

Imagine living in a place so strange that even though thick ice covers the land, it is considered a desert. This is because very little moisture falls in Antarctica and, when it does, it is always in the form of snow. Hurricane-force winds create ground blizzards of the drifting snow, with gusts blowing up to 320 kilometres (200 miles) per hour. Considered the coldest, windiest, and driest of land masses, Antarctica contains 90% of the world’s ice on a continent that is 50% larger than the United States.

Author Graham Chambers lived in this inhospitable place for two years in the mid-1970s at Halley 3, a British research base located about 500 miles from the South Pole. The short stories in his book Many are Cold but Few are Frozen are based on his experiences and incidents that occurred in this unforgiving landscape.

He said “It was a unique experience, and one with sights, sounds and smells which are not forgotten after forty years.”

The book’s publisher, Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency, said “In 1973 to 1975, Graham Chambers was part of an 18-man research group that lived in the forbidding climate of Antarctica. His true-life stories make for fascinating reading.”

About the Author: Now retired, Graham Chambers formerly worked as linguist and editor and lived and worked in Luxembourg for 33 years. He grew up in Middlesbrough, a large industrial town in northeast England, and currently lives in southern Portugal. He now has Luxembourg nationality.

His book will be available in all good bookshops and is already advertised on Amazon and available in the USA if not quite yet in Europe.
