=**//__Living conditions__//**= =__**//Stewardship//**__=
 * //Imagine living in a place where you had to lean against the wind to just walk. It would take hours to get across Antarctica and you have to have a great supply of food. You would need really warm cloths because it is way below zero there, you would definetly get frost bite, frost bite is when your fingers and toes become frozen and they turn black. But if you don't cut them off it would get infected very badly. There is no human civilisation in Antarctica and there is no doctors there that can help you.//**
 * //Sir Mawson showed stewardship by being the only person in his party that survived this mission. He also managed to try his best to eat supplies of a few dogs they had traveled with for this journey. He also showed stewardship by going to Antarctica and help protect this beautiful continent. He was a great person who showed stewardship in many different ways.//**
