Ranulph Fiennes

Douglas Mawson

Dive into a gripping first-hand account of adventure in the Antarctic - a tale rich in great courage, heart-stopping rescues, and heroic perseverance, all in sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds. Douglas Mawson completed an epic journey across Antarctica from 1912 to 1913 during which two of his companions perished. Here he recounts his efforts to map the precarious Antarctic coastline and his expeditions daily subsistence on the icy continent. Ultimately, Mawson and his group explored some 2,000 miles of the coastline, adding a wealth of information to our scientific understanding, and even discovering the now-famous colonies of emperor penguins. Illustrated with more than 90 original photographs, Mawson’s book, like those of of Shackleton and Scott, is a classic of adventure, survival, an exploration.

Geological Investigations in the Broken Hill Area

Mawson turned down an invitation to join Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition in 1910; Australian geologist Griffith Taylor went instead. Dawson chose to lead his own expedition, the Australian Antarctic Expedition, to King George V Land and Adelie Land, the sector of the Antarctic continent immediately south of Australia, which at the time was almost entirely unexplored. The objectives were to carry out geographical exploration and scientific studies, including visiting the South Magnetic Pole.
