Voyage of the Discovery

By Scott, Robert Pickett & Coleman, Ernest

Publishers Summary:
The Voyage of the Discovery is Robert Falcon Scott's own narrative of his first expedition to the Antarctic. Providing a first-hand account of the dangers he and his crew faced and the obstacles that they had to overcome, it is an enthralling description of the historic first voyage of `Scott of the Antarctic' to the south polar regions.Charting every aspect of the expedition, including the challenges involved in organising and preparing for an endeavour of this nature, Scott provides a detailed and authoritative record of the "Discovery Expedition." It reflects the sense of wonder and amazement he felt on discovering the strange fauna of the region, the problems caused by the unpredictable and harsh Antarctic weather, and the hardships and privations faced by a crew forced to live in very cramped conditions, far from outside help. It is a gripping narrative, praised by the THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT as "a masterly work."Beautifully! illustrated with both photographs and drawings by E. A. Wilson, the expedition's assistant surgeon, The Voyage of the Discovery is the definitive account of Scott's first Antarctic expedition and a fascinating description of the wild, frozen continent that would eventually claim its author's life.
