My name is Douglas Mawson and I was born in Yorkshire on May 5 1882. When I was quite young, Mother, Father and I left Yorkshire and set off for Australia.

In 1911, I made the biggest decision of my life. I decided to travel to Antarctica on board a boat called the Aurora. It took a whole year to get there and I was seasick several times. We (me and my crew) all had to squish up VERY tightly in a tiny, tiny cabin for almost a whole year.

I had devoted my entire life to exploring this amazing, vast and beautiful continent.

I just couldn't get over the fact that I was contiuously aching for my supportive family, my parents. My loving, gentle, kind mother was Margeret Ann Moore and my positive, suppotive and jolly dad was Robert Ellis Mawson. When we finally arrived in Antarctica after a long and boring journey, boy, was it worth it! It was magnificent! I really cannot explain the beauty of it all. During the exploration, we saw many wonderful things such as: Adele penguins, Humpback whales, Blue whales, Leopard seals and so many more. We also found out a lot about climate change and Antarctic living conditions. There were also many risks over in Antarctica and I was lucky to come back alive!

But all in all, it really was the most amazing experience anyone could have ever imagined.

**Kyle-** How are you a model of stewardship?

** Getting to see things that are unique and only found in Antarctica. ** ** To study and learn about flora and fauna. ** ** It would be a life changing achievement and experience because when you see all these amazing things you can return to your home country and give the information to profitable writers so that they can use that info for a detailed non-fiction or fiction book. **
