Macquarie Island and its Future – Sir Douglas Mawson - 1922

Macquarie Island and its Future – Sir Douglas Mawson – 1922

Short Description

A scarce offprint from the Royal Society of Tasmania Paper and Proceedings printed by “The Mercury”, Hobart and published in December 1922.

Original wrapper, 54 pages with seven plates including a full map of the Island. University stamp of Adelaide University School of Geology where Mawson was Professor of Geology at the time of this publication - so he likely had his hands on this copy. It is clearly marked "duplicate" so we feel it has honestly got into the private ownership at some time.

Macquarie Island of course had been central as a chosen station for the Mawson led Australasian Antarctic Expedition 1911-1914. The first radio connection with the Antarctic was achieved ... and quite a bit else.

Mawson read his report in an abbreviated form at the 12thJune meeting of the Society that year.
