About The Home Of The Blizzard: A True Story Of Antarctic Survival

Outside the bowl of chaos was brimming with drift-snow and, as I lay in the sleeping-bag beside my dead companion, I wondered how I would manage to break and pitch camp single-handed. and ” ~ Douglas MawsonThe Home of the Blizzard is a tale of discovery and adventure in the Antarctic – of pioneering deeds, great courage, heart-stopping rescues and heroic perseverance. This classic book is also a detailed account of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition’s daily subsistence on the icy continent, its scientific endeavours, and Douglas Mawson’s epic sledge journey in 1912-13 during which his companions, Ninnis, and Mertz, both perished.It is illustrated with over ninety original photographs depicting the wildlife, the harsh living conditions, and the spirit of the explorers.Mawson’s writings were first published, in two volumes, in 1915. An abridged popular edition was published in 1930.

Throughout his life he made important contributions to many fields of science, including geology, forestry, and conservation.Mawson is best remembered, though, as a pioneering explorer of the Antarctic region.
