Picture Australia and The Le@rning Federation Slideshow trail - Mawson in Antarctica - 'Mawson in Antarctica' is a magnificent collection of photographs from Sir Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14. The photographs depict the voyage to Antarctica, the establishment of a base at Commonwealth Bay, research activities and exploration of the region. They also suggest some of the many hardships experienced by the expeditioners as a result of the harsh climate and landscape. Most of the photographs are the work of the celebrated Australian photographer Frank Hurley.
