Last Expedition

<p><b>Includes the British Antarctic track chart and Ponting's glass plate negatives of the photographs that he took while on the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13</b></p><p>Captain Scott's gripping account of his expedition to the South Pole in 1910-12 tell of a journey that was meant to be a voyage of scientific discovery and a heroic exploration of the last unconquered wilderness. Scott's expedition carried in the <i>Terra Nova</i> 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.
