Penguin Eggs Stored In Tobacco Tins, Antartica Expedition 1929-1930

[misterlowercase]

Interesting stuff.
Sir Douglas Mawson (1882 -1958) led an expedition to the Antarctic in 1929-1931 with the assistance of the Australian National Research Council and Australian Government that allowed him to organise the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (B.A.N.Z.A.R.E.).
He was also a part of Shackleton’s 1907–1909 British Antarctic Nimrod expedition.

I'm really liking Mawson's smaller calabash. They don't make pipes like that any more.

Yeah, many thanks for those.

Mawson's calabash is awesome.
