The Long Man, Sir Douglas Mawson, and his improbable survival story through a widely uncharted territory in the early 20th century. Antarctica. A mysterious, unruly, frozen goatee on the chin of the planet. An area we dared not comb through until the face of the earth was sufficiently covered. Subscribe to Marooned. A new podcast from Jack Luna of Dark Topic and Aaron Habel of Generation Why, exploring tales of the catastrophically lost.
