Remembering Robert Falcon Scott of the Antarctic

Thursday, 29 March 2012

On 17th January I posted a piece (here) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Captain Robert Falcon Scott reaching the South Pole.

Today is 100 years since his death. It is amazing to think back over those weeks since my post and appreciate the time over which he and his team suffered in the Antarctic wastes.

    Having read Cherry-Garrard's amazing book, "The Worst Journey In The World", I feel it improper to ever complain about the cold again.
    What those men went through is unbelievable.

    Very sorry to have missed the exhibitions around the time of the centenary.
