The Australian Antarctic Expedition was a significant scientific mission that took place from 1911 to 1914. Led by Douglas Mawson, the expedition aimed to explore and study the Antarctic region, focusing on its geology, biology, and meteorology. The team conducted extensive research, collected samples, and mapped previously uncharted areas of the continent. During the expedition, Mawson and his team faced harsh conditions, including extreme cold and isolation. Despite these challenges, they made important discoveries, including new species and valuable geological data. The findings contributed to the understanding of Antarctica and laid the groundwork for future research in the region.
