Douglas Mawson (1882-1958) was an Australian geologist, Antarctic explorer and academic. Along with Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton, Mawson was a key expedition leader during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. The Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-14) set out to explore coast land south of Australia. The Base camp was at Commonwealth Bay and recorded some of the highest wind velocities in Antarctica. This book is the story of one of the sledging trips. He was the only survivor of the Eastern survey party of Mawson, Ninis and Mertz, and his struggle is a harrowing tale of survival.
