4.9/5 (31438 ratings)

Description:This book tells the story of Scott’s last expedition—the British Antarctic (Terra Nova) expedition of 1910-13—during which Captain Scott and his four companions died on their return journey from the South Pole.Herbert Ponting was the “camera artist” of the expedition, and his photographs are a marvelous record of this epic exploration. They portray the Antarctic in all its breathtaking beauty, the fascinating wildlife, the explorers themselves, and daily life aboard the Terra Nova and at base. Ponting’s activities inspired the invention of a new word by one of his companions on the expedition—to “pont”, meaning to “pose until nearly frozen, in all sorts of uncomfortable positions” for photographs. Ponting’s work as a photographer in the Antarctic still stands supreme. Cherry-Garrard, author of The Worst Journey in the World, wrote, “He came to do a job, did it and did it well. Here in these pictures is beauty linked to tragedy—and the beauty is inconceivable for it is endless and runs to eternity.”Ann Savours, distinguished polar historian, has linked the best of Ponting’s photographs with text to produce an enthralling narrative of the expedition, from the time the Terra Nova left New Zealand to its tragic end. Peter Scott, Captain Scott’s son, has provided an illuminating introduction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
