Daughters of Erebus

"The crash of a giant DC-10 airliner on the lower slopes of Antarctica's Mount Erebus in broad daylight in late November 1979 remains one of New Zealand's greatest disasters. Everyone on board - 257 people - was killed instantly and the aircraft disintegrated to nothing but a black smear on the snow.

Daughters of Erebus movingly tells their story of survival"--Front flap
