Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Douglas Mawson e i suoi uomini svernarono nel luogo più ventoso della terra, la Terra Adelia in Antartide, e poi avanzarono con le slitte sul ghiaccio. Questo è il racconto completo della Spedizione Antartica Australasiatica dal 1911 al 1914: la capanna, le bufere, i viaggi, la scienza e il prezzo pagato. Mawson scrive in modo semplice e lascia che siano i fatti a parlare. Se ami la vera avventura, mettiti comodo. Questo libro se la merita.
