Ep 22 Mawson: Antarctic Explorers Part 2: Australian History
Manage episode 232098618 series 2362787
Douglas Mawson, who would later become the leader of Australia’s first Antarctic expedition, undertook his first trip to Antarctica as part of Ernest Shackleton’s “Nimrod Expedition”, 1908. Though he was young and this was his first foray in to the icy territory, his obvious intelligence, robust constitution and leadership skills, marked him out early for momentous work, and he was tasked with joining teams to explore Mt Erebus and to locate the Magnetic South Pole.
The following episode will then focus on Mawson’s leadership of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition itself.
