Alone On The Ice
£15.60
On 17 January 1913 alone & near starvation Douglas Mawson leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition was hauling a sledge to get back to base camp. The dogs were gone.

There for many years he lived side by side with the country people a life ruled by the slow cycle of the seasons far away from the frantic rush of the modern world.

From sheepfolds harried by wolves to courting expeditions in the snow he experienced the traditional way of life to the full & became accepted into a community who treated him as one of their own. But Blacker was also intrigued by the Gypsies those dark foot-loose strangers of spell-binding allure who he saw passing through the village. Locals warned him to stay clear but he fell in love & there followed a bitter struggle. Change is now coming to rural Romania & William Blacker's adventures will soon be part of its history.
