Captain Scott and the Antarctic Tragedy

Peter Ludwig Brent

4.9/5 (18412 ratings)

Description:The story of the tragic and heroic death in 1912 of Robert Falcon Scott in the watses of the Antarctic has ever since captured people's imagination. In this fully-illustrated account of the life of Captain Scott, the author describes not only the events surrounding Antarctic exploration in the early years of the this century but also the complex character of this remarkable man--introverted, self-disciplined, n many ways a very conventional figure, yet a dreamer and capable of passionate love. Scott showed in his first polar voyage on 1902-4 those qualities of leadership and determination in the face of extreme hardship that were later to set him so high in the world's esteem. The second expedition reached the Antarctic in January 2012. Without the advantages of modern techniques of travel, Scott set out to reach the South Pole only to find that the Norwegian Amundsen had beaten the British party to it. Bitterly disappointed, Scott and his men began the long haul back. In the face of appalling conditions, they struggled on for weeks. They died eleven miles from a food depot. Scott's diaries are quoted throughout this book and are in themselves a deeply moving testimony to a great man, a pioneer of Antarctic exploration who became, after his death, a romantic hero in history of world exploration.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
