Antarctic Ice Fliers Books
Alaskan bush pilot Aurora Evans and her trusty Twin Otter cargo plane Myrtle finally found the perfect fit—Antarctica. Glaciologist Tommy Dale has discovered his life’s purpose on The Ice—as locals refer to the continent—facing down climate change one-on-one. But when an accident far out on the Larsen Ice Shelf forces a rescue in the heart of a midwinter whiteout, Aurora and Tommy discover a whole new passion. If they can just survive.
Reed Walsh has been building snowy runways on ‘The Ice’, as locals call Antarctica, for the last three years. After four months of darkness, two events are about to occur: the first sunrise in four months, and Winfly. The first resupply flight after a long dark winter promises fresh food and new faces. Air National Guard pilot Kathy Lee Forester hails from a small town under Montana’s Big Sky. When she lands her huge Winfly jet at McMurdo Station, she’s surprised by a high school boyfriend grown into a man. But will either of them dare to try climbing that slippery slope of a second chance when the sun rises on The Ice?
Felisha Cole has been living on ‘The Ice’ for the last four years. Memories of her life before Antarctica are stretching gossamer thin. Supply flights can reach the South Pole only three months a year. The New York Air National Guard flies in summer scientists, supplies, and the all-important fuel to run the generators that power the entire South Pole station. Flight Engineer Steve Mason hits The Ice for the first time as his unique, Hercules “Skibird” proves it can deliver to the coldest and most remote place on Earth. When the fading memory of her beloved Georgia peaches meet up with his Yankee sense of wonder, there’s no predicting what their dreams can become together.
Clara “Sailor” Poole strode into the McMurdo Station, Antarctica heavy-equipment shop like she owned it. Finding the nerve to step into her pending wedding? Impossible. Michel “Frenchy” Charbonneau, the self-declared Québécois hero of the ice, finally landed the great adventure: SPoT. The South Pole Traverse — the ultimate drive — from McMurdo to the South Pole. The annual thousand-mile haul to deliver two-thirds of the year’s supplies to the heart of the continent. Except Michel faces an unanticipated problem. His wedding date is fixed, but The Ice rarely cooperates with mere human plans.
A medical emergency at the South Pole requires immediate evacuation. One problem—it’s midwinter and the Pole Station remains cut off for another four months. No one has ever flown to the South Pole in winter. Ted Donovan, the chief pilot of Bernard’s Ice Air takes the mission. But if he’s going to survive, he needs to take the very best. Jessica Ryan joined Bernard’s as an expert mechanic but always dreamed of flying. When Ted gives her a chance, she leaps in. But her heart never counted on what else she might be flying into.
