I nearly always name this book. It is about courage, misery, starvation, heroism, exploration, discovery, and friendship.\" --Paul Theroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNational Geographic Adventure \u003c\/i\u003emagazine hailed this volume as the #1 greatest adventure book of all time. Published in 1922 by an expedition survivor, it recounts the riveting tale of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated race to the South Pole. Apsley Cherry-Garrard, the youngest member of the party, offers sensitive characterizations of each of his companions. Their journal entries complement his narrative, providing vivid perspectives on the expedition's dangers and hardships as well as its inspiring examples of optimism, strength, and selflessness. \u003cbr\u003eHoping to prove a missing link between reptiles and birds, the author and his companions traveled through the dead of Antarctic winter to the remote breeding grounds of the Emperor Penguin. They crossed a frozen sea in utter darkness, dragging an 800-pound sledge through blizzards, howling winds, and average temperatures of 60 below zero. This \"worst journey\" was followed by the disastrous trek to the South Pole. Cherry-Garrard's compelling account constitutes a moving testament to Scott and to the other men of the expedition. This new edition of the adventure classic features several pages of vintage photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486477329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.26w x 1.07d","brand":"Apsley Cherry-Garrard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637854761116,"sku":"9780486477329","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a739723d-b1cb-4df2-ace0-ea7a058506bf.jpg?v=1603845852","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-worst-journey-in-the-world-with-scott-in-antarctica-1910-1913-9780486477329","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
