Miniseries Episode 1 The frozen continent holds many secrets, including some of the most ancient stones in the world, the Napier Complex 3.8 billion years old. Today we'll learn what things lurk in the ice, and a harrowing story of polar survival from an Australian geologist, Sir Douglas Mawson.

17-AUGUST-1917. While serving as one of the Australian Official War Photographers, Honorary Captain James Francis "Frank" Hurley OBE was an Australian photographer and adventurer. He participated in a number of expeditions to Antarctica, under Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton and served as an official photographer with Australian forces during both world wars. His artistic style produced many memorable images, but his predilection to use composite imagery in a time before photoshop gained him a number of detractors, in particular Charles Bean, Australia's First World War Official Historian, and the Department of Information that he worked for in the Second World War. But even with that, he is still Australia's most famous photographer For show notes, photos and transcripts visit www.thedocnetwork.net and visit our linktree for our socials https://linktr.ee/iwodmj to follow me for more Australian Military History Content you can follow me on TikTok/Instagram/Twitter @docwinters. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/iwasonlydoingmyjob/message

Tim Jarvis had his fair share of suffering being a polar adventurer and going through extremes. But in order to recreate two epic journeys by Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton, from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, Tim willingly stripped himself of all modern equipment and finished these expeditions with the same clothes and gear that his predecessors used in the early 1900s.   On this episode of Talking Australia Tim talks about his adventures and how he since then has become a climate change advocate, public speaker and as of late started the “Forktree Project”, a non-profit demonstration site in South Australia to show large scale rewildering of agricultural land.   This Episode of Talking Australia is hosted by Chrissie Goldrick (Editor-in-chief at Australian Geographic) and produced by Ben Kanthak (www.beachshackpodcasts.com) You can also follow us on Instagram @australiangeographic See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sir Douglas Mawson, a legendary man known for his icy adventures at the beginning of the 20th century, but he also went through quite a few ordeals, including crevasse deaths (of friends), as well as madness followed by death (of friends) brought on by hypervitaminosis A (cause of gross stuff, of course). We also figured that squirrels are a valid unit of measurement. Come check it out. 

This episode features Mark Pharaoh, Polar Collection Manager at the South Australian Museum, telling the epic story of Sir Douglas Mawson's journey across Antarctica. This episode is made possible by the Department for Energy and Mining. Our Wonders from the South Australian Museum exhibition (featuring Mawson's signature balaclava) is on until August 8th 2021.

#SponsoredBonusEpisodeAbout Aurora Expeditions:From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different. Co-founders Greg and Margaret Mortimer had a passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends and in 1991, Aurora Expeditions, named in honour of Sir Douglas Mawson's ship, was born.Their aim was simple – to take small groups of travellers on voyages of discovery to regions that inspired them, thereby creating lifelong ambassadors for the preservation and protection of these sacred places. More than two decades later, that pioneering spirit burns just as brightly, as does the preference for small-group, personal expeditions.Less people means more solitude and greater flexibility if tides, currents, ice or weather dictate a schedule change. And because with fewer people to ferry ashore, Aurora Expeditions often make more landings.Responsible Travel:Aurora Expeditions is committed to travelling respectfully and providing “a trip of a lifetime” experience, while aiming to create lifelong ambassadors for the protection of our planet and the diverse places we visit around the world.

Dr Estelle Lazer joins us today to discuss Sir Douglas Mawson’s colossus legacy in Antarctic exploration. Estelle was the first archaeologist to work at the site associated with Mawson's Australian Antarctic Expedition at Cape Denison on the Antarctic mainland. She has travelled to Antarctica seven times, including four summers camping and working on the ice at Cape Denison.

Tim Jarvis has endured a great deal of physical privation as a world-leading polar adventurer.

For many explorers, it was a race to see which expedition would be the first to chart and reach the Earth’s Magnetic South Pole. A conquest finally accomplished by the Nimrod Expedition in 1909. A member of that team, 26-year-old Sir Douglas Mawson also held that honor and place in history. A few short years later Mawson would lead his own expedition team back to that icy coastline, hoping to conduct scientific research and chart new areas.To binge ad-free on Wondery+ visit: https://promo.wondery.com/plus/deadly-misadventures/Writing and Research:Stephanie MooreSupport us by supporting our sponsors!Casper - Use code DICE at Casper.com to receive $100 off your mattress order.SOURCES:Alone on the Icehttps://www.amazon.com/Alone-Ice-Greatest-Survival-Exploration/dp/0393347788/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=douglas+mawson&qid=1575514242&sr=8-2Flaws in the Icehttps://www.amazon.com/Flaws-Ice-Search-Douglas-Mawson-ebook/dp/B00PV650D0/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=douglas+mawson&qid=1575514288&sr=8-3In Search of the South Pole - Huw Lewis-Jones https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/25/business/leadership-lessons-from-the-shackleton-expedition.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crevassehttp://www.antarctica.gov.au/about-antarctica/history/people/douglas-mawsonhttp://www.antarctica.gov.au/about-antarctica/history/people/douglas-mawsonhttps://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-25682462https://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/History/Douglas-Mawson.phphttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-most-terrible-polar-exploration-ever-douglas-mawsons-antarctic-journey-82192685/

This episode, we’re heading south for a story of Antarctic disaster. Did Sir Douglas Mawson’s 1911 expedition end in survival cannibalism?

Old Dux Ipse thought he was the ducks nuts but the BANZARE looks more a dog's breakfast than the dog's bollocks.  Another not-a-race sees the Discovery racing south on its penultimate voyage.  Sir Douglas Mawson and John King Davis get on each other's nerves ninety years ago. 

Environmental explorer Tim Jarvis shares the details of recreating two of Antarctica's most legendary expeditions - pulling a supply sled nearly 500 kilometers across a barren landscape in the footsteps of Sir Douglas Mawson, and leading a team of brave souls across the Southern Ocean in a replica of the James Caird - the wee boat that carried Sir Ernest Shackleton on a rescue mission to South Georgia.  Help Meet the Ocean continue to create meaningful educational content by joining its Patreon community.

In this episode we sit down with polar explorer, speaker, film maker and environmental scientist Tim Jarvis.A very ‘cool’ interview in many ways that is likely hard to not be inspire one to fulfil the dreams we had as a child to explore the unchartered and to live a life worth living, even if it all seems scary.Tim’s latest focus project is 25zero – please click here https://www.25zero.com/ for more! As it says on the web site …“25 mountains at the equator had a glacier at the time of the UNFCCC treaty in 1992. Most of them will be melted completely away within 25 years. This is our last chance to tell their stories.”In today’s interview we hear about how Tim’s ‘explorer club’ as a young boy has guided his conquering of Antarctica, including replicating Sir Douglas Mawson’s and Sir Ernest Shackleton’s historic Antarctic expeditions, and a further record breaking Antarctic crossing in 1999.Tim is Author of multiple books including Shackleton’s Epic (I have read and highly recommend) and Mawson: Life and Death in Antarctica.We go on a fascinating journey from what goes into preparing for such monumental expeditions, how to build a team that’s got what it takes, knowing your limits, how it is everyone’s responsibility to help save Antarctica and much, much more.Real People is a podcast hosted by Jason Dunstone, the founder and managing director of Square Holes.

The icy expanses of Antarctica were an unforgiving frontier for early explorers. Among them was Sir Douglas Mawson, who faced frostbite, exposure and exhaustion in his journeys across the frozen continent. He passed some of his time writing love letters to his wife back home. But how did he stumble on a meteorite in all that ice and snow? Behind every object is a story – join Charles Wooley and Kim McKay as they reveal some of the Treasures at the Australian Museum.

An interview with 2009 Yale World Fellow Tim Jarvis. Environmental scientist Tim Jarvis has trekked across Antarctica with the benefit of only starvation rations and low-tech gear, recreating the famous – or infamous – survival journey of early 20th century explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. He has trekked without support to the North Pole, crossing 400 km of the frozen Arctic Ocean. And in 2011, he will undertake yet another dangerous expedition: retracing the steps taken by Sir Ernest Shackleton in 1916 during his legendary and harrowing Antarctic voyage.
