Review:
'A worthy memorial of one of the great achievements of our time' WINSTON CHURCHILL 'A battle cry to the youth and manhood of England' DAILY MIRROR --Daily Mirror
Synopsis:
Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) led two expeditions to the Antarctic, the first in the Discovery (1900-04) and the second (1910-12) in the Terra Nova. These journals written on these trips were found, along with Scott's body, several months after his death. Scott's expedition to the South Pole pitted him and his team not only against the elements but also against the Norwegian team, led by Amundsen. In the end, Scott was beaten by both. Amundsen arrived at the pole a month before Scott and on the return trip the party perished in the freezing cold. This title presents Scott's journal entries from preparations in New Zealand to his final message before he died, written just 11 miles from base camp and safety. The work also features many photographs depicting members of the party and the pristine Antartic landscape.
