WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SIR RANULPH FIENNES
The Last Expedition is Captain Scott's gripping account of his expedition to the
South Pole in 1910-12. It was meant to be a voyage of scientific discovery and a
heroic exploration of the last unconquered wilderness. Scott's expedition,
carried in the Terra Nova, 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 and drama, courage and endurance,
hope and bitter disappointment.
These journals were found, along with Scott's body, several months after his
death and just 11 miles from base camp and safety.
