Scott’s second-in-command on the Terra Nova expedition of 1910–13 tells the story from fitting out the ship to the long Antarctic winters and the march toward the Pole. Evans led the last supporting party back from the polar plateau and nearly died of scurvy on the return, and he writes of Wilson, Oates, Bowers and the Norwegian ski expert Gran with a shipmate’s familiarity.
A first-hand account by a man who was there, essential reading for anyone drawn to the heroic age of polar exploration. Download the free EPUB.
