Drawing on Scott’s own books, Charles Turley retells both of Robert Falcon Scott’s Antarctic expeditions: the Discovery voyage of 1901 to 1904, with its sledging journeys across the ice, and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910 to the South Pole. J. M. Barrie, Scott’s friend, opens the book with a warm memory of their first night of talk.
