Scott's Last Expedition

The Journals

By: Robert Falcon Scott

Narrated by: William Sutherland

In November 1910, the vessel Terra Nova left New Zealand carrying an international team of explorers led by Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman determined to be the first man to reach the South Pole. Scott kept a detailed journal of his adventures until March 29, 1912, when he and the few remaining members of his team met their ends in a brutal blizzard. The daily progress of the expedition toward the pole is recorded in an immensely vivid and personal narrative, depicting the beauty of the Antarctic tundra, the harsh living conditions, and Scott's own desperation to beat rival explorers to the pole.(P)1999 Blackstone Audiobooks

Critic reviews

"The finest modern tale of heroism in exploration." (Spectator)
"A splendid record of heroism not soon to be forgotten." (The New York Times Book Review)

Fascinating.

Sutherland is an excellent reader.

First hand account by the man himself. Written in language that is easily understood today, making this an easy listen.

My only complaint is the audio levels vary at different points, forcing me to sometimes crank the volume all the way up.

Excellent

I can't recommend this highly enough! The type of character that Captain Scott and his crew showed during their demise is so admirable that it should be the benchmark toward which anyone should try to emulate in the face of similar circumstances.

hard to understand narration

It was difficult to understand the narration, readet's voice is muddled. I've read this actual book and was looking forward to the audio

Outstanding true story

It’s amazing what people went through without GPS another modern luxuries they worked so hard and did so well

Boooriiiiing to dead
