Douglas Mawson's "The Home of the Blizzard" is a very comprehensive account of his two years exploring Antarctica. It is really a terrific description of the trials and hardships, including an incredible sledge journey in which Mawson lost one of his two teammates, his best dogs and most of his food. From a pure adventure standpoint, I enjoyed Lennard Bickel's "Mawson's Will" slightly more -- just because Mawson somewhat downplays just how incredible his survival was. However, this book is really terrific and a must-read for arm chair polar adventurers. While there is an abridged version, this two volume set has such amazing maps and plates it is worth seeking it out, even though it makes for a longer read. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
