 What didn't happen to McIvers?
I guess I was about ten when Wyatt and Carpenter made the last attempt—that was in 2082, I think. F. No permanent installation with a human crew could survive at either extreme. Anyway, Stone had borrowed three men from the Lab, and had the supplies and equipment all lined up when we got there, ready to check and test. But the only way to avoid it is to travel over the Pole, which would lose us days and offer us no guarantee of less activity to the west. There was an atmosphere and a constant atmospheric flow from Brightside to Darkside. Not much—the lighter gases had reached escape velocity and disappeared from Brightside millennia ago—but there was CO 2 , and nitrogen, and traces of other heavier gases.
