37. The Harshness of the Antarctic
No matter if today we have the best technology and tools that we have ever had, traveling through the Antarctic is hazardous for even the most well-prepared people. So imagine how difficult it was over 100 years ago when a team of three, headed by geologist Douglas Mawson when everything went the wrong way and ended with him being the only survivor of the scientific expedition. Even with tragedy, the mission was the first to establish communication wirelessly between Antarctica and Australia and brought many discoveries, including the first meteorite found in Antarctica.
