 I Australia's most Famous Antarctic explorer. I was bo ****rn in Yorkshire England 1882, I was just 2 years old when my family moved to Australia. For me, the deserts, ancient sites and nature encouraged me to learn and take interest in how the earth was formed. At school everyone said I was quite a bright child and was only sixteen when I moved on **** to the University of Sydney. I studied Engineering and science. I graduated engineering and science and got a job at the University of Adelaide in the study of origin and the structure of rocks.My first chance to visit this cold continent came when I was twenty-six.I joined an expedition headed by British explorer Ernest Shackleton.The team and I was the first to climb to the top of Mount Erebus, Antarctica’s active volcano,and the first to reach the magnetic South Pole. I just knew I had to return to Antarctica soon, and I did just that in 1911 when I was thirty. As leader of the first Australian Expedition to Antarctica. My aim was to map and explore the coastal area of Antarctica closes to Australia. I selected my new team and in the ship‘Aurora’ we sailed through one thousand five hundred kilometres of pack ice to the Antarctic coast. Our first job was to build a hut which we called ‘The Home of the Blizzard’. From our camp in spring 1912 several parties ** Ninnis and a team of some Greenland huskies. My party travelled east for over a th ****ousand kilometres mapping the coastline collecting geological samples and discovering huge glaciers. Fighting the weather and light, we had to drag ourselves and their supplies around crevasses and slippery covered rocks. Just five weeks into our journey the Ninnis disappeared down deep crevasses with a team of dogs and the sled carrying most of the food. Mertz and I had to turn back if we wanted to survive and we were forced to shoot and eat the remaining of the huskies, then Mertz got sick and eventually he to die to. I was v ****ery close to death my feet were bloody and my skin was falling away and I had lost alot of weight. I will never know what killed Mertz and made him sick was it toxic levels of Vitamin A from the dogs' livers we had eaten or when he fell into that deep crevasses and was saved by a rope.I fought though the cold dragging my poisoned body with me to the expedition headquarters. My bravery and courage was awarded for I was knighted back in Adelaide. In 1914, I married Paquita Delprat, woman I thought about on my journey. I then had two daughters. I returned in 1929 and 1931 on two more voyages to the Antarctic. This time focusing on oceanography and marine biology. I died at the age of seventy two in 1958. **

 * __What work have I done in Antarctica?__ **
 * I have done lots of work investigating Antarctica and the habitat within it. On **** my first few voyages to Antarctica I studied rocks and the geological samples of various ice forms. I also made **** Australia **** 's first Antarctic base for geographical discovery or ‘The Home of the Blizzard’. These were simple huts that my crew and I made so we could store and observe Antarctica and it also served as a temp **** orary living environment. In **** 1929 and 1931 I returned to Antarctica this time researching the local wildlife. I shut down penguin and seal oiling businesses in order to preserve the wildlife. **

 * I am a model of stewardship because I help Antarctica’s environment and tried to preserve the freezing continent. I have collected research to educate and study and shut down oiling businesses to provide safety to local wildlife. I have protected Antarctica and defended the country. Antarctica is an important part of the world for it's various resources and natural beauty and i tried to show people that. **

I can live my dream of going to Antarctica I got to see a unique environment || Crossing animal territory Running out of supplies Having to have responsibility for my men Facing dangerous weather conditions and crevasses Getting lost or destroying equipment ||
 * __ Advantages __ || __ Disadvantages __ ||

Antarctica has a variety of unique fauna.
