Ron Wiggins  Antarctic Adventures

This series of podcasts presents life at Mawson Base, Antarctica throughout 1976 and the summer of 1977.  Mawson is one of three Australian Antarctic bases with a fourth on the sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. Each episode is devoted to a specific adventure (or mis-adventure) over a 15 month period. At this period of time Mawson was one of just a few Antarctic bases that had working Husky dogs to which a number of these podcasts are about.  I am surprised upon looking back and referencing source material how many crazy stories occurred during my time at Mawson. The equivalent Youtube videos use Phil’s super8 videos, photos, paintings, illustrations and cartoons which will enhance the listener’s experience.
