Meer info | Inside very good as well. An attractive set of this scarce title. Mawson was a prominent Australian polar explorer whose first visit of the Antarctic was with the crew of Shackleton. A contemporary of Scott, he decided to run his own Antarctic expedition, starting in December 1911. On one occasion, during a trek to base camp, Mawson lost his 2 companions and most of his supplies when, firstly, a sledge fell down a crevasse and later his remaining companion died of poisoning/malnutrition. He miraculously survived by having to sacrifice the remaining dogs as food in order to sustain himself over the final 100 miles. |
