CON UN'INTRODUZIONE DI SIR RANULPH FIENNES The Last Expedition è l'avvincente resoconto del capitano Scott sulla sua spedizione al Polo Sud nel 1910-12. Doveva essere un viaggio di scoperta scientifica e un'eroica esplorazione dell'ultima natura selvaggia inconquistata. La spedizione di Scott, trasportata sulla Terra Nova, mise lui e il suo team non solo contro gli elementi ma anche contro l'esploratore norvegese Amundsen. Alla fine, Scott fu sconfitto da entrambi. I diari sono pieni di incidenti e drammi, coraggio e resistenza, speranza e amara delusione. Questi diari furono trovati, insieme al corpo di Scott, diversi mesi dopo la sua morte e a sole 11 miglia dal campo base e dalla sicurezza.

Robert Falcon Scott was born in 1868. He became a naval cadet at the age of 13 and he was made a full lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1889. The Royal Geographical Society appointed him to command the National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904. The expedition set sail on the Discovery and reached further south than anyone before. Scott returned to Britain as a national hero. In 1910 Captain Scott organised a second expedition to sail to the Antarctic on board the Terra Nova. On the 17th January 1912 the party reached the pole, only to find that they had been beaten by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. Scott and his companions died on their march back to safety on 29 March 1912.Eight months later, a search party found the tent, the bodies and Scott's journals. The journals were first published in 1913.
