So throughout this entire ordeal, Geri stayed focused on survival, but she was fighting also against the altitude. Yes. After spending many months at the South Pole in extreme conditions, you become what is known as being toasted. This refers to the foggy mental state as a result of being hypoxic, meaning low oxygen, hypothermic, and sensory deprived.

To cope, people at the station carried small green notebooks, nicknamed their green brains, to help them remember things.

Yeah. I thought learning about being toasted was really interesting because I didn't really think about it because when you think about it, she's there in the winter. It's dark all the time.
