- Summary:
-
The 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 is Douglas Mawson's firsthand account of his years spent in sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds. At the heart of the story is Mawson's epic sledge journey from 1912 to 1913, during which his companions B.E.S. Ninnis and Xavier Mertz both perished. This classic book also details the Australasian Antarctic Expedition's daily subsistence on the icy continent in the early years of the century.
