I'm not sure if my book is right but this is what it says. Belgrave Ninnis and Dr Xavier Mertz were on Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition in 1911-14. Belgrave Ninnis fell down a crevasse with the food supply sled, the main tent and some dogs(ouch!). A few months later, Dr Xavier Mertz died of sickness and frostbite(sad). Mawson barely survived the 160 km return trip alone.
