Mawson's Will by Lennard Bickel
The Greatest Survival Story Ever Written
A vivid, tightly focused account of Australian explorer Douglas Mawson’s Australasian Antarctic Expedition and the extraordinary endurance and leadership he showed after disaster struck: when sledging companions were lost and supplies dwindled, Mawson survived a brutal solo trek across crevassed ice, blizzards, starvation and frostbite to return to base, while the narrative also examines the expedition’s scientific achievements, the tough decisions and moral dilemmas faced by its members, and the lasting legacy of courage and controversy that followed their return.
