핵심 특성
주요 업적
1911~14년 호주 남극 탐험대를 이끌어 동남극 해안의 넓은 구간을 측량했고 지질학, 지도 제작, 기상학, 지자기학, 생물학, 해양과학 지식을 넓혔다.
1912~13년 벨그레이브 닌니스가 크레바스에 빠져 실종되고 사비에 메르츠가 숨지자, 탐험대의 자료와 표본을 가지고 돌아오겠다는 결심으로 홀로 약 한 달을 걸어 구조선이 떠난 뒤에야 기지에 닿았다.
1929~31년 영국·호주·뉴질랜드 남극 연구 탐험대를 이끌어 남극 해안 상당 구간을 항해하며 조사했고, 1921년부터 1952년까지 애들레이드 대학교 지질·광물학 교수로 재직했다.
삶의 장면들
닌니스가 대부분의 보급품과 함께 크레바스에 빠지고 메르츠가 숨진 뒤, 모슨은 탐험의 자료와 표본을 지니고 약 30일 동안 홀로 걸었으며 썰매 끈을 붙잡고 기어올라 크레바스 추락에서 살아남았고, 배가 떠난 뒤에야 기지에 도착했다.
이는 심각한 차질 속에서도 목표를 향해 계속 나아가는 모습과 일치한다. 끈기
남호주 오지의 빙하 작용을 연구했던 그는 직접 빙하 현상을 보고 싶어 1907년 애들레이드로 서둘러 가서 섀클턴의 배를 만나려 했고, 결국 탐험대에 합류했다.
이는 자신이 연구한 자연 현상을 직접 확인하려는 호기심과 일치한다. 호기심
전환점
스콧이 탐험대 합류를 권했지만 모슨은 이를 거절하고, 호주 남쪽의 미탐사 지역으로 가는 자신의 호주 남극 탐험대를 직접 조직해 이끌기로 하여 1910~11년 호주 전역에서 지원을 구했다.
이는 남의 사업에 합류하기보다 자신의 사업을 시작하고 이끄는 쪽을 택하는 모습과 일치한다. 선제적 행동력

- South Australian Medical Heritage Society, 'Sir Douglas Mawson and the Far East Antarctic Journey, 1911/1914' (virtual-museum page based on a 2018 talk by Associate Professor Brian Brophy), read to the account of the return journey: in 1907 Mawson hurried to Adelaide hoping to meet Shackleton's ship because he had studied glaciation in outback South Australia and wanted to see it first-hand; after Scott declined his plan to explore west of Cape Adare he mounted his own expedition, sought support in Australia through 1910-11 with scientific, commercial and nationalistic aims; ship Aurora left Cardiff in July 1911 with 49 huskies; the Far Eastern Party left on 10 November 1912 with 17 dogs and three sleds, Mawson reorganised the sleds to two and put the best dogs and most food on Ninnis's sled, reasoning that a crevasse lid failing would cost his own sled instead; on 14 December Mawson crossed the crevasse tangentially and on his sled while Ninnis jogged alongside; Mawson considered the coast route and dismissed it, ate the dogs on the return, cut down the sled, was roped to it when he fell into a crevasse and reached base on 9 February 1913 after the relief ship had left. The author discusses vitamin A poisoning as the likely cause of Mertz's death (not used). Society talk page by a neurosurgeon and former Mawson Station medical officer; Mawson's own diary is the underlying record.
- Mike Dash, 'Alone against Antarctica', A Blast From The Past (history blog), 27 January 2012, read in part (opening and narrative sections): describes Mawson as 'tall, lean, balding, earnest and determined, an Antarctic veteran, a supreme organizer, and also physically tough'; says the Far Eastern assignment was an especially risky one, that the party had left no food depots on the way out, which left a choice between heading for the sea or a fast return the way they had come, and that Ninnis's habit of running alongside his sledge risked the lives of those he left behind; quotes Mawson's diary entries. Popular history blog by a historian-author drawing on Mawson's diary and Home of the Blizzard; not an independent primary source and some reader comments appended to the page are not used.
