Alone on the Ice: The Greatest Survival Story in the History of Exploration

OUR CURRENT SELECTION

Alone on the Ice: The Greatest Survival Story in the History of Exploration

by David Roberts

A gripping recount of Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition, which included surviving unbelievable conditions and making unfathomable decisions.  Antarctica is impossible to adequately describe, and the thrill of traveling to places unknown has no comparable emotion.  The explorers in the Australasian Antarctic Expedition were truly among the first to experience the uniqueness of Antarctica and because of what they learned, Antarctica became a territory that belongs to us all.  

Please consider purchasing your copy on AMAZON SMILE which supports People to People International - Kansas City.  Your purchases support our humanitarian programs around the world.
