Scott of the Antarctic''s amazing diary of the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition in which he perished along with Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evans after reaching the South Pole behind Roald Amundsen. Scott''s diary has been constantly in print since first publication in 1913 and has sold almost 250,000 copies. However, the original illustrations that accompanied the first edition have long since disappeared from the cheap paperback editions currently available. This new edition reunites for the first time in 100 years the diary with the stunning original photographs of Antarctic and the men of the expedition by Herbert Ponting.

In November 1910, the vessel Terra Nova left New Zealand carrying an international team of explorers led by Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman determined to be the first man to reach the South Pole. Scott kept a detailed journal of his adventures until March 29, 1912, when he and the few remaining members of his team met their ends in a brutal blizzard. The daily progress of the expedition toward the pole is recorded in an immensely vivid and personal narrative, depicting the beauty of the Antarctic tundra, the harsh living conditions, and Scott''s own desperation to beat rival explorers to the pole.
Even in his final hours, Scott continued to make entries of his observations in his journal, allowing the adventure he and his fellow explorers undertook to live on once discovered.

Die Terra Nova Expedition war eine Expedition in die Antarktis, die zwischen 1910 und 1913 stattfand. Unter der Leitung von Kapitän Robert Falcon Scott hatte die Expedition verschiedene wissenschaftliche und geografische Ziele. Scott wollte die wissenschaftliche Arbeit fortsetzen, die er bereits während seiner Discovery Expedition von 1901 bis 1904 begonnen hatte und wollte zudem als Erster den geografischen Südpol erreichen. Er und vier Gefährten erreichten den Südpol am 17. Januar 1912, wo sie allerdings feststellten, dass bereits ein norwegisches Team unter der Leitung von Roald Amundsen 34 Tage vor ihnen den Pol erreicht hatte. Auf der dramatischen Rückreise vom Südpol zur Küste verstarben Kapitän Scott und vier seiner Begleiter. Ihre Leichen, Tagebücher und Fotos wurden acht Monate später von einem Suchtrupp gefunden.

"Wären wir am Leben geblieben, ich hätte eine Geschichte erzählen müssen von Kühnheit, Ausdauer und vom Mut meiner Gefährten, die das Herz jedes Briten gerührthätte." R.F. ScottRobert Falcon Scott ging als tragische Gestalt in die Geschichte der großen Entdecker ein: 35 Tage nachseinem norwegischen Konkurrenten Roald Amundsen erreichte er am 16. Januar 1912 den Südpol undfand auf dem strapaziösen Rückweg in die englische Heimat zusammen mit seinen vier Kameradenin den eisigen Temperaturen der Antarktis den Tod. Der Nachwelt hinterließ er nur das Tagebuch, daser während der Expedition führte.Im Gegensatz zu den Aufzeichnungen anderer Forschungsreisender ist dieses Tagebuch weit mehr als das wissenschaftliche Dokument der einzelnen Entdeckungen und Beobachtungen eines leidenschaftlichen Forschers. Es ist die tragische und berührende Autobiographie eines Menschen, der angesichts von Enttäuschung, Hunger und Kälte mit großem Mut und Willenskraft für sich und seine Kameraden einsteht und sein Schicksal am Ende ohne Reue annehmen kann.
