The Worst Journey in the World

National Geographic rated this the greatest travel-adventure book ever written. It’s the dramatic story of Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated expedition between 1911 and 1913 to become the first humans to reach the South Pole. This is the original version, written in 1922 by Apsley Cherry-Garrard, who survived and witnessed the journey. Filled with remarkable original drawings, maps and photos with a fresh preface that explains why this book is so compelling and important, it is a riveting story of courage and danger; a true, rare classic.
