In 1912, the great Australian polar explorer Douglas Mawson found himself all alone in Antarctica, 257 kilometres from safety, with next to no food. How on earth did he survive?
Peter FitzSimons tells the story of Mawson, and masterfully interweaves the stories of the other giants from the heroic age of polar exploration – Scott of the Antarctic, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Roald Amundsen.
