In November of 1912 Douglas Mawson left Cape Denison — by measurement the windiest place at sea level on Earth — with two men, two sledges and seventeen dogs, to map two thousand miles of Antarctic coastline nobody had charted. Six weeks and three hundred miles out, Belgrave Ninnis went through a bridged crevasse with the sledge carrying most of the food, all of the dog food, the tent and the spare clothing. Mawson and Xavier Mertz turned for home with about a week and a half of rations between them and began eating the dogs. Mertz died in the tent on the eighth of January, 1913. Mawson cut his sledge in half with a pocket knife and walked the last hundred miles alone, with the soles of his feet detached and bound back on with bandages. This episode includes the question about that walk that has never been settled — and states plainly what evidence there is and isn't.
