This volume presents the journals of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, chronicling his ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1911. The diary entries offer a firsthand account of the challenges and triumphs of the journey, including scientific research, the grueling conditions, and the ultimate tragedy of Scott and his team's demise. It captures the complexity of the man and his comrades, highlighting their determination, resilience, and the weight of their ambition.
