Sir Douglas Mawson and his Crew
You may be thinking of Sir Douglas Mawson, who was a geologist.
I think he was 32 check with you're teacher
Douglas Mawson led the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-1914) and made several significant discoveries, including charting new lands, conducting scientific research, and proving the existence of a vast ice-free area known as the "Antarctic oasis." Mawson's expedition also made important contributions to our understanding of Antarctic wildlife, geology, and climate.
Douglas Mawson discovered and mapped large segments of the Antarctic coastline during his Australasian Antarctic Expedition in the early 20th century. He also made important scientific discoveries, including evidence of the existence of a great southern continent.
Sir Douglas Mawson and Dr Xavier Metz had to when their team mate (Belgrave Ninnis) fell down a crevasse with most of the main supplies, so the two men were made to eat the dogs to stay alive
Douglas Mawson went to Antarctica four times.On the first occasion, he was part of Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition. Together with Australian geologists Professor Edgeworth David and naval surgeon Alistair Mackay, Mawson was the first to reach the magnetic South Pole on 16 January 1909.On his second exploration, leading the first Australasian Antarctic Expedition, Mawson, on the boat Aurora departed from Hobart on 2 December 1911. He reached Commonwealth Bay on the Antarctic continent on 7 January 1912. He returned in 1914.Mawson undertook two more explorations in Antarctica; one in 1929 and the last in 1931, leading the first and second British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expeditions (BANZARE).
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.

The Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) was an Australasian scientific team that explored part of Antarctica between 1911 and 1914. It was led by the Australian geologist Douglas Mawson, who was knighted for his achievements in leading the expedition.Accomplishments were made in geology, glaciology and terrestrial biology.
