Race to the Pole

Tragedy, Heroism, and Scott’s Antarctic Quest

During the Golden Era of Exploration, Captain Robert Scott and his competitor Roald Amundsen conquered the unconquerable: Antarctica. Their perilous race to the South Pole claimed Scott’s life and became the stuff of legend as well as endless scrutiny. In this compelling biography of Captain Scott and his fatal journey, renowned modern-day explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, holder of ten expeditionary records, has written the definitive book on this hotly debated subject. Infused with the intensity of fiction, and the author’s hard-won, firsthand knowledge of what it takes to traverse the Antarctic continent, Race to the Pole is a prodigious achievement certain to become a classic in the literature of exploration.

I enjoyed the story

Seemed based on many credible sources. Forever attempting to debunk several myths I was unaware of. Thank you

boring

this book is boring, I only got thru 4 hours. I bet discussing skis takes up 45 min. the Norwegians, the Germans, the type, what goop they should have bring along but didn't.
