Antarctica Fiction

Douglas Mawson, born in 1882 and knighted in 1914, was Australia’s greatest Antarctic explorer. On 2 December 1911, he led an expedition from Hobart to explore the virgin frozen coastline below, 2000 miles of which had never felt the tread of a human foot. After setting up Main Base at Cape Denision and Western Base on Queen Mary Land, he headed east on an extraordinary sledging trek with his companions, Belgrave Ninnis and Dr Xavier Mertz. After tragedy struck, Mawson found himself all alone, 160 miles from safety, with next to no food.

"Being an independent, 19-year-old female reporter dedicated to finding and covering real stories, I was barely able to pay my bills. There have been numerous rumors about a military cover-up in Antarctica, and I intend to uncover the truth.

The lower numbers of them during the winter has piqued my curiosity even more."
