About this listen

In 1913, Australian explorer Douglas Mawson was stranded alone in Antarctica after the deaths of both companions during the Australasian Antarctic Expedition.Starving, frostbitten, and crawling across the ice with his skin peeling from his feet, Mawson faced a 300-mile journey back to base — before the last ship home left without him.This is one of the most extreme true survival stories in history, a tale of tragedy, endurance, and the will to live against impossible odds.🎧 Prefer audio?
