Yes, during his 1911-1914 Antarctic expedition, Douglas Mawson resorted to extreme measures for survival, including eating the liver of one of his sled dogs after being stranded and facing starvation. Mawson's journey was fraught with peril, and this act was a testament to the dire conditions and the lengths to which he had to go to survive in the harsh Antarctic environment.
