Antarctic and Other Adventures
'You Have to be Lucky' is an engrossing account of the Earth's last frontier written by a man who played a leading role in its exploration.
From the founding of ANARE in 1947 until 1966 Dr Phillip Law was involved in adventures as diverse as the first scuba dive in Antarctic waters, the first Australia-Antarctica flight and the founding of Davis Station - now Australia's largest Antarctic base.
These remarkable tales of unmapped lands and seas (and other adventures from closer to home) are related by a scientist with a gift for storytelling and writing of clarity and humour.
