About this episode
The Far Eastern Party’s two surviving members, Douglas Mawson and Xavier Mertz, must take drastic measures if they’re going to make it back to their base alive. They’ve lost almost all of their food and supplies. And if they can’t get back to base camp before their supply ship leaves, they’ll be forced to endure another Antarctic winter. Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.
