This is Douglas Mawson's first-hand account of his years spent in sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds. At the heart of the story is Mawson s epic sledge journey in 1912-13 during which his companions Ninnis and Mertz both perished. Told in a laconic but gripping narrative, this is a story that all armchair explorers will cherish. Originally published to great acclaim in 1915, this book has been out of print for many years. \u003ci\u003eThe Home of the Blizzard\u003c\/i\u003e is illustrated with over ninety original photographs depicting the wildlife, the harsh living conditions and the spirit of the explorers. With a specially commissioned foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the \"world's greatest living explorer,\" this is a book for anyone interested in adventure and the strength of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894692479264,"sku":"NEW0312230729","price":32.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81ukRdphxcL.jpg?v=1782024265","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-home-of-the-blizzard-a-true-story-of-antarctic-survival-0312230729","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
