Description

Antarctic Odyssey by Phillip Law.'In 1953 the Australian government decided to establish a scientific research station on the Antarctic continent. This book is about the small party of men who set it up in the following year, written by the man who led the expedition: the planning, the voyage, the building of what is now Mawson Station, the land exploration, the difficulties and their ingenious solutions are all recounted here. The voyage through stormy seas, bitter cold, pack ice and hurricane winds, is an epic of seafaring. And few people have explored as much of the Antarctic as Phillip Laws.' The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with the top edges curling and some sun fade but the book remains tight and bright.
