	Showcases :: Captain Scott's Terra Nova Antarctic diaries
		The diaries of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, RN (1868-1912), document the heroic attitude and scientific activities of polar explorers at the turn of the century.
		(Scott's party lugged 35 pounds of geological specimens until they died.) He writes letters to family and friends, and a message to the public on the planning and execution of the southern sledging journey.
		Scott's Last Expedition, edited by Leonard Huxley, appeared in 1913, and the account was popularised - not least to raise funds for the expedition that was in debt.

	Scott of the Antarctic
		Scott's boat won and he was invited aboard H.M.S. Active to dine with the Commodore.
		Present at this dinner was the cousin of the Commodore, Clements Markham who was so impressed with Scott that he wrote about him that he was "the destined man to command the Antarctic expedition." Scott continued serving in ships of the the Royal Navy until 1901.
		Scott was Knighted posthumously because of his bravery and the Scott Polar Research Institute was established at Cambridge in his memory.

	Pratie Place: Scott's Fatal Antarctic Expedition
		On Scott's expedition, fish and fresh meat (for instance, penguin) were the primary source of vitamin C, but far from the coast they were hard to come by.
		Scott said, 'we took risks, we know we took them.' I think what people don't realize when they read these tales of high adventure and exploration is that luck is always a key part of it.
		But when Scott himself got severe frostbite a few days later ("amputation is the least I can hope for now"), he did not graciously insist that his companions walk to the life-saving depot a short 11 miles away.

	SECRETS OF THE DEAD . Tragedy at The Pole \| PBS
		By the time Scott and his companions reached the South Pole, on January 17, Amundsen's team was nearly back at their camp on the Bay of Whales.
		Scott, Wilson, Bowers, and Oates continued down the glacier to sea level on the Barrier, the 400-mile stretch of sea ice that lay between them and their hut on Cape Evans.
		Scott characterized it as a brave act of sacrifice; that Oates had given his life so that the expedition would not be held up on account of his injuries.

		Scott reached the South Pole on January 18, 1912, only to find the tent and flag of the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who had achieved the goal 5 weeks earlier.

		Robert Scott had an adventurous boyhood at 'Outlands', the family home in Devon where he led his brothers and sisters in mock battles with 'the enemy'.
		Scott was always a fit young man - when planning the Discovery expedition in London he used to run around the streets for exercise.
		The average age of the officers and scientists (known as the wardroom) was 24; Scott himself was aged 33.

	Antarctic Explorers: Robert Falcon Scott
		Scott, with his wife, left the ship at Greenhithe where he was presented two flags by Queen Alexandra, now the Queen Mother: one to be planted at the farthest south attained while the second to be hoisted at the same spot and then brought back.
		Scott blamed himself for the tragedy as he was in a hurry to get the ship unloaded so she could embark with Campbell and his crew for King Edward VII Land.
		Scott had dreaded this moment as all had pulled to the limit of their strength, but now four good men had to be deprived of their just reward: the Pole.

		Oates was presented as a devoted follower of Scott who had sacrificed himself to give his companions a chance; a supporting role, as it were, in a b urgeoning heroic myth.
		The facts on the life of Robert Scott are thus: he was born in Devonport into a navy family and became a cadet at the age of 13.
		Scott and his colleagues died on a glacier which inched its way towards the sea.

		Captain Scott's journey to the Antarctic in 1902 had been backed by the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Society, which dispatched Colbeck to the rescue when they became alarmed by a lack of news.
		Scott insisted on seeing the winter out, determined to press ahead with the scientific monitoring he had been funded to do.
		Scott claimed it was a miraculous swell that had freed the ship because he didn't want to be rescued by someone beneath him socially.

		Ponting spent a year on Captain Scott's ill-fated 1910 Polar Expedition and this is the moving footage he shot with his intelligent and reserved narration dubbed over it.
		I have read much about the expedition but to see the moving film of these men, especially those who made the final trek and did not return, going about their daily chores, laughing and joking, is involving in a way no words ever could be.

	Antarctic Book Notes
		Scott is certainly on the ascendancy these days: In the past few years several titles have appeared that have set the beleagured hero on an upward course after the modern era's battering that began with Huntford's biography.
		Scott's descriptions of the monumental landscape of Antarctica in all its fatal and icy beauty are breathtaking; his honest, heartfelt letters and diaries give the reader an unforgettable account of the challenges he faced both in his personal life and as a superlative leader of men in possibly the harshest environment on the planet.
		Beau Riffenburgh is an historian specialising in exploration, particularly that of the Antarctic, Arctic, and Africa.

		The story of Scott's last expedition to the south pole will, I feel sure, be already known to many of you here tonight and several of you may remember the times in which that epic journey was made.
		I make no apology for again bringing the story before you for it is one which for courage, endeavour, endurance and unselfishness even in the face of death, will, I feel, never be surpassed.
		These slides have travelled many thousands of miles and if in their journeys, a few of them have become a little damaged, handled as they have been by men whose names are engraved on a never dying role of fame, their sentimental value is still beyond price.

		Trivia: Captain Scott's log and many of the personal effects of the explorers were loaned by The British Museum to add to the authenticity of this near-documentary.
		The very slow deterioration of Scott's team is fascinating to see; their heartbreak upon viewing Raoul Amundsen's Norwegian flag flying over the Pole in the distance - meaning they had lost the race to the greatest of all explorers - is palpable.
		Mills' understated Scott is to be expected as part of the MYTHICAL version of Scott - the REAL Scott I have no doubt was more emotional and weaker, as seen in the uneditied diary.

	Scott of the Antarctic (1948)
		There is something intensely British about Scott of the Antarctic, an epic story of great heroism which ended in failure.
		Although there is a tendency nowadays to scoff at hagiographies of national heroes, it would be unfair to deny Scott of the Antarctic its excellence.
		At the conclusion we hear John Mills speak Scott's famous last words in his diary: "Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions, which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman.

		Whilst Scott is held up as a role model to every schoolboy, he was a flawed man, sometimes putting his own vanity and the desire to win above the safety of his crew.
		Photographs of the hut Scott built look almost identical to that shown on screen and the recreation of the Antarctic on Soundstage 1 in Ealing Studios is a marvel (though some scenes are shot on location in Norway).
		Captain Scott's log and many of the personal effects of the explorers were loaned by The British Museum to add to the authenticity of this near-documentary.

	DVD Times - Scott of the Antarctic
		The above quote is taken from the final words spoken by John Mills in Scott of the Antarctic, a film in which he plays Captain Scott, the famed explorer who reached the south pole, yet was unable to return home and died an untimely death.
		Yes, Scott of the Antarctic is one of those quintessential British films; a film which is forever associated with Bank Holiday Mondays and one which could never have been made in the quite the same way anywhere else in the world.
		Indeed, one wonders what the results would have been had Scott of the Antarctic been directed by Alexander Mackendrick perhaps, or Robert Hamer during his prime, though sadly the workmanlike talents of Frend were employed and signs of life must be looked for elsewhere.

		Since the the expedition was to be scientific in nature, a movie camera and film were brought to document it.
		While still in the Antarctic, Ponting set some of his film back to England, and from that footage Gaumont released "With Captain Scott to the South Pole in 1912." A few weeks after the film's release, Scott and his companions were found dead.
		He edited it to include the snapshots Scott took at the pole, and re-released it in 1914.
