graves are located on West Arm. The graves are rock-covered coffins with brass plaques and white wooden crosses. Two of the graves have two plaques – one from the family of the deceased, and the other from Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) personnel. The graves are those of Robert White (d. 1963), Kenneth Wilson (d. 1972) and Geoffrey Cameron (d. 1974).
Alongside the graves is a fourth more recently built cairn containing the ashes of Phillip Law (d. 2010) and Nel Law (d. 1990) which were interned in 2011.

2.4 Current uses
Mawson has supported research in the fields of cosmic ray physics, space physics, atmospheric physics, geophysics, glaciology, ecology of seabirds and marine mammals, meteorology and polar medicine. It remains the western-most focal point for Australian Antarctic science.
Two long-running investigations of populations and demographics of penguins are supported out of Mawson. An emperor penguin colony at Taylor Glacier has been studied intermittently from 1959 to 1987 and continuously since 1988. An Adélie penguin colony at Bèchervaise Island has been systematically studied since 1987 – the program informing the important work of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
Cosmic ray data collected at Mawson date back to 1955 and represent one of the longest standing scientific endeavours of the modern Australian Antarctic program. Underground and surface cosmic ray telescopes provide information on the influence of the interplanetary and geomagnetic fields on the propagation of galactic and solar cosmic rays, as well as the occurrence of large solar events that potentially pose a radiation hazard to aviation and space operations.
Several instruments related to space physics research and monitoring are also operated at Mawson. A sophisticated imaging Fabry-Perot spectrometer measures temperatures and vector winds in the lower thermosphere for investigation of small-scale processes in this region of the Earth's environment. Continuous automated measurements of geomagnetic variations and ionospheric opacity and structure are used in various operation and
