Scott's Last Expedition: The Journals of Captain R.F.

The Journals of Captain R. F. Scott

By Scott · 2009

Synopsis

This volume prints the Antarctic journals kept by Captain Robert Falcon Scott on the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-1913. Daily entries cover the hut at Cape Evans, scientific work, depot-laying, and the polar journey with Wilson, Oates, Bowers, and Evans. The writing records weather, sledging routine, the discovery that a Norwegian party had reached the Pole first, and the return march across the Barrier. Accompanying matter from other members fills gaps. The book is a primary expedition narrative, not a later biographer's reconstruction.
