Abstract: "In 1910, Robert Falcon Scott set out to study penguin eggs in Antarctica on the British Antarctic Expedition, known today as the Terra Nova Expedition. He hoped to find an evolutionary link between birds and reptiles. ... In [this book] Apsley Cherry-Garrard, the youngest member of the team, reports the ... unfolding of the ... expedition - an adventure from which he emerged as the only survivor. ... [He] stayed behind to study eggs while Scott and three other members of the team went back into the cold with their sights set on the South Pole. As weeks passed, Cherry-Garrard and his colleagues realized Scott was not going to return. [He] joined the rescue team to find the tent that housed the explorers' frozen bodies and diaries - resources the author used to write much of [this book]." -- Back cover.
