During the Australisian Expedition, Mawson lost his companion Ninnis into a crevasse, after which Ninnis was never seen again. (Read more, below.) Prior to this event, their companion, Mertz, had fallen into a crevasse and was lost as well. (Read more, below: Mertz.)

One of Mawson's extreme blessings of good luck was that if he did fall in, he was rescued.

The total number of times would require a full reading of all of his Antarctic history: the number is small if he fell it at all.

Notably, once this Expedition was finished, Mawson returned to Antarctica, but always by sea, never wanting to trek or explore there again.

Why are crevasses a danger in Antarctica?

A crevasse, regardless of where it's located is a deep canyon of ice. Unless you fall onto a ledge, you'll fall to the deepest "V" in the crevasse. Over time -- and not a very long time, you'll freeze to death because of being wedged between two ice forms. You are immobile and probably injured. If you land on a ledge and cannot climb out or are not rescued quickly, you'll also freeze to death. In Antarctica, there is the added danger of not being rescued, because there are no stand-by search and rescue teams, no equipment on stand-by to retrieve a human from a crevasse. Also in Antarctica, known crevasses are marked with black flags mounted on bamboo poles, to mark areas where humans should not tread.
