Description

Contains the photographs of Herbert Ponting, From the Archives of the Royal Geographical Society and the Scott Polar Research Institute. Forward by Ranulph Fiennes. With Scott to the Pole celebrates the achievements and heroism of Captain Scott and of all the members of the 1910-13 expedition. The story is captured in the extraordinary photogrpahs taken by Herbert Ponting--the "camera artist" whose meticulously executed and perfectly composed images capture the sublime landscape of Antarctica as well as the bravery and endurance exhibited by those on the expedition. Drawn from the archives of the Royal Geographical Society in London and the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, this rich selection also includes exceptionally finely-crafted images of the rough sea journey, the Terra Nova's arrival in Antarctic waters, the dramatically breaking pack-ice, setting up camp and building the hut at Cape Evans, exploratory scientific forays, daily life at camp, the laying of depots and the final push to the Pole.
