This book tells the story of Scott's last expedition-the British Antarctic (Terra Nova) expedition of 1910-1013- during which Captain Scott and his four companions died on their return journey from the South Pole. Herbert Ponting was the "camera artist" of the expedition, and his photographs are a marvelus record of this epic exploration. They portray the antarctic in all its breathtaking beauty, the fascinating wildlife, the exploers themselves, and daily life aboard the Terra Nova at base.
