The White South is a 1949 thriller novel by the British writer Hammond Innes. It is set on a factory ship operation in the Antarctic Ocean.
In 1954 it was adapted into the film Hell Below Zero directed by Mark Robson and starring Alan Ladd and Stanley Baker.[1]
In his obituary of Innes, Jack Adrian described The White South as "the book that was instrumental in lifting him out of the general ruck of thriller writers, establishing him as a writer that serious critics (such as Elizabeth Bowen and J.W. Lambert) took seriously".[2]
