This excerpt is from Mawson – Life and Death in Antarctica (Malcolm McDonald, 2007).
The Douglas Mawson Antarctic Expedition of 1912 is one of the most amazing feats of endurance of all time. Although his two companions perished, Douglas Mawson survived – but how?
In a bold historical experiment, adventurer Tim Jarvis retraces the experience, using similarly meagre rations, primitive clothing and equipment. He seeks to uncover what happened to Mawson physically – and mentally – as a man hanging on the precipice between life and death.
