Facing starvation, illness and snowblindness, they sacrificed the remaining dogs one by one, Mertz quickly weakened and, despite Mawson's efforts, tragically died. Mawson's month-long battle to make his way back to Cape Denison over the remaining 100 miles (160 km) is one of Antarctica's truly epic survival stories.
