In 1910 Robert Falcon Scott led the Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole, part scientific and part adventure. After realizing they had been beaten to the pole by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian Expedition, the party suffered a final tragedy: the loss of Scott and his companions to the Antarctic cold on their return journey.
The Worst Journey in the World is an autobiographical account by one of the survivors, Apsley Cherry-Garrard. It combines fascinating scientific documentary, adventure narrative, and-with the inclusion of Scott's final journal entries-horror story.
Perfect for readers who crave authentic adventure narratives and tales of human endurance against impossible odds. Cherry-Garrard's memoir stands as the definitive chronicle of Scott's tragic journey.
