Book Description

"Gripping and superb. This book will steal the night from you." -Laurence Gonzales, author of Deep Survival On January 17, 1913, alone and near starvation, Douglas Mawson, leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, was hauling a sledge to get back to base camp. The dogs were gone. Now Mawson himself plunged through a snow bridge, dangling over an abyss by the sledge harness. A line of poetry gave him the will to haul himself back to the surface. Mawson was sometimes reduced to crawling, and one night he discovered that the soles of his feet had completely detached from the flesh beneath. On February 8, when he staggered back to base, his features unrecognizably skeletal, the first teammate to reach him blurted out, "Which one are you?" This thrilling and almost unbelievable account establishes Mawson in his rightful place as one of the greatest polar explorers and expedition leaders. It is illustrated by a trove of Frank Hurley's famous Antarctic photographs, many never before published in the United States.

I love the ability to change the background color. It’s a nice touch. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.

This app's ease of use has made my downtime more enriching and enjoyable. 📱 An app that truly understands audiobook enthusiasts – it's all about functionality, and this app nails it! 📚💡 ListenBook's audio filters allow me to customize the audio playback to suit my preferences perfectly. I can't believe how seamless the integration with Apple Watch is. My workouts just got better. A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didn’t dislike it, but I also didn’t feel strongly about it one way or another.
