Voyage of the Discovery, Vol 2

This second volume in Captain Scott's epic narrative of his first expedition to the Antarctic sees the perilous journey continue where it left off in Volume One (also published by Nonsuch). It provides a detailed record of every aspect of the expedition which set out from Dundee in 1901, from the realities of the daily routine to their wonder at discovering strange, awe-inspiring landscapes, as well as the trials of harsh weather conditions, food shortages and illness. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and drawings, by E.A. Wilson, it brings to life the realities of the dangerous expedition that Scott and his companions undertook to a region which would, ultimately, cost the author his life.
