A First Rate Tragedy: Robert Falcon Scott and the Race to the South Pole Paperback - 1999
by Diana Preston
Summary
On November 12, 1912, a rescue team trekking across Antarctica's 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: Scott's frozen body lay between those of two fellow explorers. They had died just eleven miles from the depot of supplies that might have saved them. The remaining two members of the party were nowhere in sight, but Scott's eloquent diary revealed their nightmarishly similar fate. It is a story that continues to haunt the popular imagination, and which has never been told more grippingly or with greater compassion than in this book.
First line
THE HISTORY of Antarctic exploration is a curious story of bursts of activity succeeded by long periods of apathy and neglect.
