1957 South With Mawson by Charles Laseron Australian Antarctic Exploration Book

South With Mawson
By Charles F. Laseron
Published by Angus And Robertson: Sydney 1957 2nd Edition
Illustrated - Complete With Unclipped Dustjacket

" South With Mawson, authored by Charles F. Laseron, offers a vivid firsthand account of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-1914, led by Sir Douglas Mawson. As assistant biologist on the expedition, Laseron documents the harrowing challenges faced by the team as they navigated treacherous ice, snow, and extreme weather conditions, wintering on the blizzard-swept shores of King George V Land. The narrative captures the endurance, ingenuity, and courage required to survive in one of the planet's most hostile environments, providing insight into the daily lives, scientific endeavors, and remarkable feats of the eighteen men who undertook this historic journey.

This second edition, published by Angus and Robertson in 1957, includes expanded illustrations and photographs, many contributed by Captain Frank Hurley, that complement Laseron's descriptive text. These visual records enhance the account of Antarctic landscapes, camp life, and scientific exploration, highlighting key locations such as the Magnetic Pole and Mertz Glacier, where tragedy struck the expedition. Laseron's text balances technical observations with evocative storytelling, offering both a historical and personal perspective on this milestone in polar exploration.

Complete with its original unclipped dustjacket, South With Mawson is an essential work for collectors and enthusiasts of Antarctic history, Australian exploration, and early twentieth-century scientific expeditions. The book's combination of firsthand narrative, detailed cartography, and period photography makes it a rare and compelling record of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Ideal for collectors of polar literature, historical Australiana, and expeditionary accounts. "
