Project Gutenberg 2004-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 879 Mawson, Douglas, Sir 1882 1958 Mouson, Duglas, Sir The Home of the Blizzard Being the Story of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1914 Produced by Geoffrey Cowling, and David Widger "The Home of the Blizzard" by Sir Douglas Mawson is a scientific account written during the early 20th century. This narrative chronicles the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, which took place between 1911 and 1914, highlighting the exploration and scientific discoveries in a largely uncharted part of Antarctica. The primary focus of the expedition is the story of survival and the pursuit of knowledge in one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth. The opening of the book introduces the author’s aim to provide a coherent narrative of the expedition while acknowledging the inadequacies of the account compared to the vast scope of the project. Mawson reflects on the spirit of exploration and the challenges posed by the harsh Antarctic conditions. He discusses the planning stages leading up to the expedition, emphasizing the collaboration with scientific societies and the intricate preparations necessary for the challenging voyage to Antarctica. This sets the stage for the trials that the expedition members will face in the unforgiving landscape of ice and snow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
