Scott's Last Expedition Volume I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419146381)

Scott's Last Expedition V1 is a book written by Captain R. F. Scott, which chronicles the ill-fated journey of the British Antarctic Expedition in 1910-1913. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume detailing the preparations and initial stages of the expedition, including the departure from New Zealand, the establishment of the base camp at Cape Evans, and the first attempts to reach the South Pole. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and weather conditions encountered by the expedition, as well as the challenges and hardships faced by the team as they pushed further into the Antarctic wilderness. Scott's Last Expedition V1 is a fascinating historical account of one of the most ambitious and tragic expeditions in the history of exploration, and provides a unique insight into the courage, determination, and sacrifice of the men involved.Sunday, June 4.--A calm and beautiful day. The account of this, a typical Sunday, would run as follows: Breakfast. A half-hour or so selecting hymns and preparing for Service whilst the hut is being cleared up. The Service: a hymn; Morning prayer to the Psalms; another hymn; prayers from Communion Service and Litany; a final hymn and our special prayer. Wilson strikes the note on which the hymn is to start and I try to hit it after with doubtful success! After church the men go out with their ponies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
