About this title

Review:

[Scott] has a keen eye for his surroundings and, as always, travel in the southern extremes lends itself to crackerjack adventure. (Denver Post)

Capt. Scott has written a book that will have a conspicuous place among the annals of polar effort, and it is worthy of it. (The New York Times)

Captain Scott has done a splendid piece of work; not the least part of it is the production of the ablest and most interesting record of travel to which the present century has given birth. (The Spectator)
