Flaws in the ice

in search of Douglas Mawson
The 1911 expedition to Antarctica by leader Douglas Mawson ended in tragedy and death. Unbeknownst to him, he was headed to the windiest place on earth--Commonwealth Bay. When the expedition floundered, it was here that Mawson built a hut to shelter those who remained, and where they stayed for two years as they waited for rescue. And it was here that the legacy he built for himself, as the only survivor, began to unravel almost one hundred years later as diaries and letters came to light that told a different story from his memoirs.

Join this fearsome team of evil as they try to take over the world--and obviously, destroy it--but get waylaid by evil cats, rogue farts, killer plants, and visiting sisters"--Back cover.
