Rare Photos of the First Australasian Expedition to Antarctica in 1911
In 1911, a group of scientists and adventurers set off on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, which covered previously unexplored areas of Antarctica. Led by Dr. Douglas Mawson—a geologist, explorer, and academic—the voyage produced a wealth of scientific information and aided in mapping the area. The journey was meant to chart the 2,000-mile coastline of Antarctica that lay south of Australia and lasted until 1914.
