Douglas mawson was born in England. Douglas wasthe cpatain of the people that discovered and claimed our part of antartica.This helped us discover many animals and compounds.while at Antarctica he also the forst to ascend to on mount Erebus. Also was the first to reach the south magnetic pole.
Douglas mawson came to australia in 1884 when he was 2 years old.His father was a poor cloth maker with a farming backround.Douglas was born in Yorkshire in 1882 and died in october 14,1958(aged 76 in bighton south Australia).
I personally think that Douglas mawson was an inspiring man becuase of what he did for us and the world. As well as exploring the Antarctic he was a Geologist.He also was the only sole survivor of the far eastern party(A gruop of men that explored most of the antarctic coast by dog sledge).
