The Worst Journey in the World

by Apsley Cherry-garrard

Overview

This Halcyon Classics ebook THE WORST JOURNEY IN THE WORLD documents the Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica from 1910-1913. Written by Apsley Cherry-Garrard, one of the survivors of the expedition, the ill-fated journey to the South Pole was led by Sir Robert Falcon Scott. Scott and three companions reached the Pole in January 1912, only to find they had been beaten to their objective by Norwegian Roald Amundsen by thirty-three days.

Scott and his three companions perished just eleven miles short of a supply depot on their return journey northward; their remains were discovered by Cherry-Garrard. Upon his return to England, Cherry-Garrard published his recollections as THE WORST JOURNEY IN THE WORLD
