Eyewitness Accounts With Scott in the Antarctic - Softcover
'Mr Ponting has it in his power greatly to delight!' Lady Kathleen Scott Herbert Ponting was the photographer on Captain Scott's Terra Nova expedition to the Antarctic in 1910 - 13. Based at the expedition hut at Cape Evans, Ponting spent the summers studying the continent's wildlife and landscape. He records close encounters with orcas and leopard seals on the ice at Cape Evans, expeditions to study Adelie penguins at Cape Royds and to track the movement of the nearby Barne Glacier, as well as the hazards of icebergs. Ponting also reveals how the expedition passed the time during the long winter, describing the journey he took with Scott and the team who would attempt to reach the South Pole. Ponting's tale, originally intended to be used by Scott for lectures and fundraising on his return, ranks as a classic of travel and exploration literature.

About the Author:
Herbert Ponting's haunting photographs of the Antarctic are amongst some of the most stunning and beautiful ever taken. He travelled south with Scott on the Terra Nova and captured the voyage and the expedition on camera. This is his story of that fateful expedition.
Review:
A fascinating collection of reminiscences from someone who was actually there with Scott as they prepared for the expedition that would ultimately fail... Living history, life as it was, in the raw. Absolutely terrific. Ranks alongside a book my father had, The Ascent of Everest, for sheer excitement... (Books Monthly UK)
