A moving biography about the ill-fated Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Captain Scott led two expeditions to the Antarctic in his lifetime, the 'Discovery Expedition, which was a large-scale expedition to carry out scientific and geographical research, and the 'Terra Nova Expedition', on which Scott and his entire team died in 1912. This biography offers a unique insight into Scott's life as the author, Reginald Pound, who was the first person to be offered access to Scott's private correspondence and journals. As a result, this biography is deeply moving, and offers a full view at the person who Scott was, rather than the stiff facade formerly portrayed." (Rooke Books). Blue boards with silver lettering. No bumping, Dust jacket marked. No inscriptions. Some age discoloration. Illustrated in b&w - sixteen plates of twenty-five photographs. Firm binding
