Cold Fiercer Than Men Had Ever Faced, Ceaseless Winds, a 6- Month Night- -Yet 18 Pioneers of Science Survived, and Thrived. Isolated researchers emerge from six months’ work in darkness, oxygen- thin air, and body- numbing temperatures reaching minus 102 F. The Land of Cedars, Phoenician Sea Cities, and Crusader Castles Thrives Again as Middleman of the Mediterranean. Perched on the shores of the Mediterranean, Lebanon is a center of commerce for the Middle East. Among the Fertile Banks of the Mississippi River, Columned Mansions Recall the Heyday of the Old South’s Sugar Plantations.
