Items related to Scott's Last Journey: The Race for the Pole
The dramatic disappearance of the explorer Capt. Robert Falcon Scott & his companions in their 1910 race to reach the South Pole was seen by their contemporaries as creating heroes in a new mold. A few years later, during WW I, Scott's rival Shackleton also nearly met his death in the Antarctic, becoming in the process another hero. Scott's reputation has been weighed in the balance with Shackleton's -- & found wanting. Now, King re-examines Scott's exploits, setting his own account against modern studies of the Polar Race. Includes 140 photos, many of breathtaking quality, taken by one of the greatest Antarctic explorers, Herbert Ponting, who accompanied Scott.
