Scott Robert Falcon Scott went down in the history of the great explorers as a tragic figure: 35 days after his Norwegian competitor Roald Amundsen, he reached the South Pole on January 16, 1912 and found himself on the strenuous journey back to his English homeland together with his four comrades death in the freezing temperatures of Antarctica. He left posterity only the diary he kept during the expedition. In contrast to the notes of other explorers, this diary is much more than the scientific document of the individual discoveries and observations of a passionate researcher. It is the tragic and touching autobiography of a person who, in the face of disappointment, hunger and cold, stands up for himself and his comrades with great courage and willpower and is ultimately able to accept his fate without regret. . .See photos for additional content. . .
