The Worst Journey in the World
This gripping story of courage and achievement is the account of Scott's last fateful expedition to the Antarctic. Apsley Cherry-Garrard—who Scott Jauded as a tough, effcient member of the team—tells of the journey from England to South Africa and southward to the ice-flows. From there began the unforgettable polar journey across a forbidding and inhospitable re- gion. It was here—in arctic temperatures—on November 12, 1912, that the author, in a search party, found the bodies of Scott and his companions along with poignant last notebook entries, some of them recorded in this work.
Among Apsley Cherry-Garrard's friends and admirers were John Galsworthy, H.G. Wells, Arnold Bennett and Bernard Shaw. His background in the arts and humanities makes The Worst Journey in the World stand out as a literary accomplishment as well as a classic in the annals of exploration.
