Alone On The Ice - The Greatest Survival Story In The History Of
Exploration
Alone on the Ice by David Roberts is the account of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition in 1911 – 1913 and Douglas Mawson’s incredible effort for survival, after falling into a crevasse and making his way back to camp in a desperate solo 30 days trek.Mawson was a lecturer in mineralogy and petrology at the University of Adelaide and served under Shackleton in 1907-1909. In leading the AAE multi research expedition, consisting of weeks of marching and months spent in the hostile territory, he aimed to map Antarctica, a largely unknown land at the time. Extracts from the personal diaries of the crew members reveal the men’s commitment to the mission, despite enduring extreme cold and hunger, in such an isolated place. Their stories are enriched by parallels drawn from Scott,
Shackleton and Amundsen experience along the same uncharted regions and illustrated with photographs by Frank Hurley, the official photographer in the team. David Roberts meticulous and extensive research does justice to Douglas Mawson’s and his expedition shining light onto an almost forgotten story and personalities of the age of exploration. Alone in the Ice is an incredible, but true gripping story of adventure, tragedy and most of all of human endurance.
