Well, the Nostalgia Ventures re-issue (which pairs _Cold Death_ with _The
South Pole Terror_) claims "It has never been reprinted in full since
its original magazine appearance. When Bantam BOoks reissued it in 1968,
inexplicably the ending was left off. We've restored it for this edition"
Don't know if that makes any difference as far as "rational explanation"s
go.
