A First Rate Tragedy
A Brief History of Captain Scott's Antarctic Expeditions
Sinopsis
On November 12, 1912, a rescue team trekking across Antarcticas Great Ice Barrier finally found what they sought - the snow-covered tent of the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Inside, they made a grim discovery: Scotts frozen body lay between the bodies of two fellow explorers. They had died just eleven miles from the depot of supplies which might have saved them.
Why did Scotts meticulously laid plans finally end in disaster, while his rival, Norwegian Roald Amundsen, returned safely home with his crew after attaining the Pole only days before the British team?
In a newly revised and updated version of her original book, Diana Preston, returns to Antarctica and explores why Scotts carefully planned expedition failed, ending in tragedy.
