This Accursed Land – Lennard Bickel

Short Description

Published by MacMillan, Melbourne 1977. 210 pages with good photographic illustrations and good end paper maps. Very good condition.

Lennard Bickel’s well written account of Mawson’s epic and tragic journey of the “Australian Party” across 600 miles of unexplored frozen waste.

Mawson had declined Scott’s invitation to join the party to the South Pole to lead this eparate expedition. Sadly Ninnis died at the extremity of their effort. Failing supplies required Mawson and Mertz to partly live off their dogs. Mertz died half way back leaving Mawson to complete what Sir Edmund Hillary to later describe as “the greatest story of lone survival in Polar exploration”
