The Last Expedition

The Last Expedition is Captain Scott´s gripping account of his expedition to the South Pole between 1910 and 1912. It was a voyage of scientific discovery and a heroic exploration of the last unconquered wilderness. Scott´s expedition, carried in the Terra Novaz, pitted him and his team not only against the elements but also against the Norwegian explorer, Amundsen. Ultimately, Scott was beaten by both. The journals are full of incident an drama, courage and endurance, hope and bitter disappointment. These journals were found, along with Scott´s body, several months after his death and just eleven miles from base camp and safety.
