The Far Eastern Party was a sledging component of the 1911–1914 Australasian Antarctic expedition, which investigated the previously unexplored coastal regions of Antarctica west of Cape Adare. Led by Douglas Mawson, the party aimed to explore the area far to the east of their main base in Adélie Land, pushing about 500 miles (800 km) towards Victoria Land. Accompanying Mawson were Belgrave Edward Ninnis, a lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers, and Swiss ski expert Xavier Mertz; the party used sledge dogs to increase their speed across the ice. Initially they made good progress, crossing two huge glaciers on their route south-east.

  • El Grupo del Lejano Este fue un componente de trineo de la Expedición Antártica Australasiana de 1911–1914, que investigó las regiones costeras previamente inexploradas de la Antártida al oeste de Cabo Adare. Dirigido por el comandante de la expedición Douglas Mawson, el grupo tuvo como objetivo explorar el área que se encuentra al este de su base principal en Tierra Adelia, empujando unos 800 km hacia la Tierra de Victoria. Acompañando a Mawson estaban el belga Belgrave Edward Sutton Ninnis, un teniente de los Royal Fusiliers, y el experto en esquí suizo Xavier Mertz; el grupo usaba perros de trineo para aumentar su velocidad a través del hielo. Inicialmente hicieron un buen progreso, cruzando dos enormes glaciares en su ruta sureste. (es)
  • Le « groupe de l'est lointain » (en anglais : Far Eastern Party) est une composante de l'expédition antarctique australasienne (1911-1914) qui a exploré les régions côtières de l'Antarctique encore inexplorées à l'ouest du cap Adare. Dirigé par l'Australien Douglas Mawson, le groupe explore une zone lointaine à l'est de sa base principale en Terre Adélie, jusqu'à environ 800 kilomètres en direction de la Terre Victoria. Mawson est accompagné du lieutenant des Royal Fusiliers Belgrave Edward Sutton Ninnis et de l'expert suisse en ski Xavier Mertz. Les hommes utilisent des chiens de traîneau pour augmenter leur vitesse de déplacement sur la glace. (fr)
  • O Grupo do Extremo Leste consistiu num grupo de homens da Expedição Antártica Australasiática (1911-14), que investigou as regiões costeiras inexploradas da Antárctida a oeste do cabo Adare. Liderado pelo comandante de expedição Douglas Mawson, o grupo tinha como objectivo explorar a área mais a leste da sua base principal na Terra Adélia, num percurso com cerca de 500 milhas (800 km) em direcção à Terra de Vitória. Acompanhando Mawson estavam , um tenente dos Royal Fusiliers, e o especialista suíço em esqui ; o grupo utilizou cães de trenó para aumentar sua velocidade através do gelo. Inicialmente, fizeram um bom progresso, atravessando dois grandes glaciares na sua rota de sul para leste. (pt)
