Mighty Bad Land

A tale of grit and real teamwork in the wilds of Antarctica when the hunger for knowledge reigns supreme Four geologists and two mountain guides face the brutal beauty of West Antarctica eight hundred miles from the US main base. Their search reaches far into the treacherous mountains of Marie Byrd Land. During six weeks of living in tents and traveling by snowmobile, the team endures endless cold and furious blizzards. They cross ice fields and hidden crevasses, which one member of the team learns about the hard way. Bruce Luyendyk’s memoir, Mighty Bad Land (Permuted Press; May 2023), recounts the first of his three geologic expeditions in distant Marie Byrd Land (MBL, or Mighty Bad Land).
