Description: Step aboard one of the most ambitious expedition vessels ever to navigate the Southern Ocean, and discover the story behind a ship that carries the legacy of Antarctica's most enduring explorer. From the shipyards where her ice-strengthened hull took shape to the wind-scoured landing sites of the White Continent, this book charts every dimension of the Douglas Mawson experience—her design, her routes, her passengers, and the fragile wilderness she was built to reach. Along the way, readers meet the wildlife, the environmental safeguards, and the crews that make modern polar cruising possible. A compelling voyage for armchair explorers and future expedition travelers alike.
