1915 polar exploration wrap up: this year you were all about THE PROF you listened to 5000 hours of THE PROF your number one genre was GEOLOGY
what was the prof doing (like what stuiff was he associated with) and what are some things you'd recommend to learn more. johnny needs more books to read I GUESS
He was doing GEOLOGY in AUSTRALIA and going a bit crazy while sledging to the SOUTH MAGNETIC POLE and then during WWI he was SURVEYING until he fell into a WELL!!! After this he started writing a BOOK about AUSTRALIAN GEOLOGY but DIED before it was FINISHED!!! He also found PRE CAMBRIAN FOSSILS!!!
These are the broad strokes of his life that I gathered mainly from his wikipedia page as I haven't done any in depth reading other than general stuff about the Nimrod. And alas I did the far majority of my Nimrod reading before The Year of The Prof started so I was not particularly paying attention to him. I know he kept a diary during it but idk if it was published. I haven't been looking anywhere other than his darling eyes lately
