Welcome
This web-site is specifically aimed at raising the profile of Sir Douglas Mawson. However it is inevitable that a great many of those with an interest in Mawson will have a broader range of polar interests. This page will, over time, provide links to a few such topics. Note no preference or importance is intended or implied by the order of these links.
