Yet in this drama of astounding adven-
J ture you can see the very Uttermost

ence. just as It actually exists and was
seen by Captain Scott and his compan-

tain Scott was the first explorer to make
the art OF photography a separate part
Of an Antarctic expedition and took with
him Herbert G. Pointing. Fellow of the
Royal Geographical society, as his offic-
ial camera artiet. The records are all
animated and are authentic, which adds
much to their worth and include the
views found on the body Of Captain
Scott.

looming up grim, white and majestic, as
tho South Polar continent Is reached
The unloading OF the Terra Nova is
shown. the erection Of the winter quar-
ters end the daily life and work of the
men Of the expedition Is seen. Climbing
giant icebergs on skis is viewed as a
fast IL somewhat dangerous means Of
locomotion. Then there are the various
methods OF transportation. by dog teams,
motor sledges and ponies.
The beauty of the scenery OF the Great
White South is seen Illuminated by the
briliancy of the midnight sun. Then you
start and travel to the very south pole
and see the actual location of that IL
lusive point and make the terrible return
