As a geologist, Sir Douglas Mawson contributed greatly to our scientific knowledge. However, as an explorer he made two major discoveries. He was part of the first ascent of Mount Erebus on Ross Island and discovered the Magnetic South Pole, both as a member of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod expedition. He also led his own expedition to Antarctica, the Australasian Antarctica Expedition, and he mapped a great deal of the coastline of George V Land on this expedition.
