ABSTRACT

Psychological test data and personal observations were gathered concerning 17 men who wintered over at the geographical South Pole. From these data it became possible to sketch the general attitudes of the men toward the Antarctic and each other; to describe some of the source of group tension and morale; and to discriminate between the most successful and least successful members of the group.
