Near Death on an Extinct Antarctic Volcano
At the edge of the Shackelton Ice shelf lies an extinct Antarctic volcano named Gaussberg. In early 1977 Phil was one of the few passengers of the Nella Dan to visit this ancient geological wonder. His task was to obtain updated measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field.
As a geophysicist Phil had a unique historic link this place dating back to 1912 - the historic era of pioneers such as Sir Douglas Mawson, Frank Hurley the famous photographer and a young geophysicist named Eric Webb.
In this podcast Peter Niblett interviews Phil Wolter who reveals a near-death experience and uncovers a mystery that was discovered on the crest of the mountain.
