Beschreibung
THE HOME OF THE BLIZZARD is a tale of discovery and

adventure, of pioneering deeds, great courage, heart-stopping rescues

and heroic endurance. This is Mawson's own account of his years

spent in sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds. At its heart

is the epic journey of 1912-13, during which both his companions

perished. Told in a laconic but gripping style, this is the classic

account of the struggle for survival of the Australasian Antarctic

Expedition - a journey which mapped more of Antarctica than any

expedition before or since.

The photographs included in this book were taken on the journey

by Frank Hurley, later to achieve fame on Sir Ernest Shackleton's

Endurance expedition.
