This book tells the breathtaking story of Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expeditions, in which he more than once narrowly escaped with his life. In 1911 his Australian Antarctic Expedition set off for the great white south, pitching camp on the slopes of the Beardmore glacier. When both members of his pary died, however, he was left to struggle the hundreds of miles back to base, only to find that the rescue ship had sailed away.
