HOME OF THE BLIZZARD REVISITED

Douglas Mawson wrote this book, Home Of The Blizzard in the 1910s, describing his experiences at Antartica during the 1911 Australian Antartic Expedition. It is an amazing, fascinating book- one of the best polar adventure stories you'll ever read. This 343- page book is a best seller and has been reprinted four times!

Fun Fact: Douglas Mawson married Francesca (Paquita) Delprat on 31 March 1914!
