The Home of the Blizzard - secondhand

This book is a tale of discovery and adventure in the Antarctic - of pioneering deeds, great courage, heart-stopping rescues and heroic perseverance.  This classic book is also a detailed account of the Australasian Antartic Expedition's daily subsistence on the icy continent, its scientific endeavours, and Douglas Mawson's epic sledge journey in 1912-13 during which his companions Ninnis and Mertz both perished.

The Home of the Blizzard is illustrated with over ninety original photographs depicting the wildlife, the harsh living conditions and the spirit of the explorers.
