Description:This is the story of Aussie Douglas Mawson, a famous Antarctic explorer. After an apprenticeship on an expedition with Ernest Shackleton, which saw Mawson lead a small team to the South Magnetic Pole for the first time, his own expedition of 1911-14 captured the imagination of Australians, at a time when knowledge of Antarctica was scant and the frozen continent still largely unexplored. Lincoln Hall offers a fresh interpretation not only of Mawson’s exploits, but also of his motivations, his character and his knack for survival. Hall also draws on his own experiences in mountaineering in his attempt to understand what made it possible for Mawson to achieve what he did in dangerous conditions.Publication Date:01/05/2011We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
