About This Item
Macmillan, 1977. 1st ed G++ as ex library with usual stamps in VG- dw. Sir Douglas Mawson's epic journey across 600 miles of Antarctic wasteland. The loss of one of his men and most of his supplies turned a hazardous trek into a nightmare. Mawson and Mertz, were trapped 320 miles from base with only nine days' food and nothing for the dogs. They lived on the journey back by slaughtering their starving animals and eating what is now known to have been poisoned meat. Mawson's ultimate and lone struggle for survival after Mertz's descent into madness is extraordinary. When he arrived back his weight had reduced from fifteen stone to eight stone.

About Bob Worth Mountain Books
I am a private collector (also a fell runner, skier & mountaineer) who, after collecting Mountaineering and Travel books for almost 50 years, now need to start shifting some of the collection due to space constrictions.
