This book present's Scott's journal entries from preparations for the trip in New Zealand to his final message before he died, written just eleven miles from base camp and safety. The work also features many superb photographs depicting members of the party and the pristine Antarctic landscape. By turns informative, humorous, riveting and tragic the journals, republished in their entirety, are sure to thrill a new generation of readers.
