The longest eleven miles in British history.

The British saw the Inuits as "wildmen", and was arrogant. Amundsen lived and learned from them..

Oslo..

Hate to inform you of this but Scott's party shot the ponies for food after they had reached a state of total exhaustion. He also had the option to shot the dogs for food if it came that far.

Scott didn't care one iota about the well being of his animals, merely his own men.

[Hunpecked]

The phrase "only 11 miles from food and shelter" is misleading. There was no shelter, and the food was still a hundred nautical miles south of Scott's base. A year before, fresh, healthy men took over two weeks to cover that distance in good weather. The polar party was sick, weary, and cold, and faced rapidly worsening weather.

Correction to WC3P0channel10A: In 1903 Scott reached 82 degrees 17 minutes south, not 88 degrees. Shackleton reached 88 degrees 23 minutes south in 1909.

Are there any photos of Scott's body when it was finally found?

Great! For another apt apt tribute to Scott, you could maybe have a look at

'kcazyt birdie, the doctor and me'

[joehworld]

lawrence knew he cant make it cuz of how weak he got and to cold so he didnt want any help to get back cuz it would slow them down to get back to the boat so they can get a good chance to live and another one had a cut and it got infected by frostbite and he took this stuff off cuz he knew he cant carry on any more and died and lawrence thought scott will live but wrong and scott died. :(

some fantastic images...like the video, well done

[WC3POchannel10A]

Huntford is also extremely prejudice. I agree that Susan Soloman's book is a good accounting. It must also be remembered that Scott's first expedition with the Discovery had the intent to conduct science research as a primary goal, even though he reached 88 deg. South.

Thanks for posting this video. I have always treasured the efforts of both men. It is so tragic that such heroic men died as they did, and I want to mention that Amundsen died while trying to rescue Nobile at the North Pole.

at 2:24, that's the photograph of doomed men, after they found Amundsen's tent on the south pole.....when they're taking that picture, they don't know that they'll all gonna perish
