Abstract
Abstract Ernest Shackleton’s expedition to the Antarctic in 1908 was accompanied by two intrepid geologists, who aimed to determine the position of the south magnetic pole. They were Edgeworth David, Professor at the University of Sydney, and Douglas Mawson, later Professor of Geology in Adelaide. In pursuit of their quarry they traversed glaciers and made observations of the local formations. Here is how Mawson described what happened one day, after they had pitched tent. David took his sketchbook and went to record the outline of a range of hills, while Mawson sat in the tent changing the photographic plates in the plate-holder of his camera.
