About this listen
Lessons in leadership and resilience from being stranded in Antarctica.
What would you do if you were stranded in the coldest place on earth as the world you knew back home changed forever...?
As station leader at the Davis Research Station in Antarctica, David Knoff was leading 24 expeditioners in a standard six-month mission when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, international travel came to a standstill and their ride home was cancelled—indefinitely. What was supposed to be a routine mission became a high-pressure cauldron of uncertainty and anxiety where everyone was pushed to their mental limits. They'd have to draw on every ounce of resilience to ensure a safe return.
Facing unprecedented challenges, including a complex medical evacuation and a fire on board the ship meant to get them out, David would need all his experience as an infantry platoon commander and diplomat to keep the team safe and get them home, albeit to a world that was completely different to the one they'd left.
537 Days of Winter is a high-octane sub-zero story unlike any other in modern Antarctic history.

Loved it.
Such a great memoir.
Very honest.
Got me interested in all things Antartica.
Wish he had read the book though, seen him at a conference and was a great speaker so don’t know why he didn’t narrate.

Really good
I liked this book a lot because I’ve always wanted to go to Antarctica and see the ice and penguins. I work in a workshop so I know I’ll probably never go but this book sometimes made me feel like I was there, hitting a freezing hose with a mallet.

Boring. Puerile.
So boring with the sentence structure of a year 9 student. Nothing happens. Couldn’t make it through. There are so many better books on leadership, arctic and Antarctic experiences.
