Con Curtis is a writer and keen photographer. After his time in Antarctica, he worked with Family Services for many years, specialising in the rehabilitation of young offenders and supporting families in crisis. He has a first-class honours degree in Youth Justice. He lives in Yorkshire with his fiancée Sarah, plays guitar in a cover band and gets into the mountains whenever he can.
I loved reading about Antarctica and its explorers since I was a child and my cousin was stationed to Little America with the navy.
I recently read a very interesting article in Smithsonian magazine entitled "Nightmare on the Ice". With this in mind, I read "Working at the end of the World".
This book tells about the first trip of Con Curtis to Antarctica and working on the Dyer Plateau.
One section reminded me of a story my cousin told me about crossing the equator for the first time.
There are many interesting humorous anecdotes and well as serious work and travel.
There are also great photos.
I look forward to reading about the author's second journey there.
