Summary:
The year was 1956, and Lowell R. DeMond was strapped for cash. Instead of getting a job at the local car wash, like a typical twenty-year-old might do, DeMond opted for a job at a remote weather station in the frozen wasteland of northern Canada. Thus began an unforgettable adventure. Filled with humor and astonishing photographs, Where Did the Nickel Go? is a true account of DeMond's time as a meteorological technician at the Eureka weather station on
Ellesmere
Island
, just six hundred miles from the North Pole. During a two-year stint in Canada's frozen north, DeMond and seven other men lived and worked in one of the most hostile environments on Earth, where they dined on powdered potatoes, powdered milk, and powdered eggs. With a resilient sense of humor, DeMond shares many incredible stories about this unique experience, including the time he tried to catch a wolf, the time women visited the weather station, and a saga involving a missing nickel. Through it all, DeMond managed to keep an upbeat attitude, and he looks upon his experiences fondly. Hopefully you will too.
