Book Synopsis
Antarctica. Winter 1912.

Hunkering down in the windiest place on earth, eighteen young Australians eagerly await a chance to prove themselves as polar explorers and scientists. The spring sledging season will bring adventure, danger, and the discovery of new lands under the command of Douglas Mawson. But tragedy also lies in wait.

Douglas Mawson''s tale is legendary, an epic struggle between one man''s self-belief and the worst conditions the hostile polar environment can throw at him. His journey represents not only a feat of physical endurance but also a triumph of the human spirit''s ability to conjure hope when luck has all but run out.

Praise for previous books in this polar adventure series:
''Into the White: Scott''s Antarctic Odyssey.''For thrill-seeking middle school students who love nonfiction adventure stories...the adventures of Scott and his crew don''t disappoint.'' - School Library Journal
