The Lost Photographs of Captain Scott

The Lost Photographs of Captain Scott

by David Wilson

  • EXPLORATION
  • 2011
  • HARD COVER
  • 192 PAGES

Drawing on a long forgotten cache of gelatin prints, Wilson turns Scott's beautifully produced images, many a full or double page, into a chilling tale of fortitude and courage, tracing events first around Cape Evans and then, day by day until the top of the Beardmore Glacier, when the bulky camera was returned to base with Scott's first supporting party. This gorgeous book, supplemented by maps and incisive commentary, is a significant contribution to Antarctic history. Wilson's great uncle was expedition artist Edward Wilson, who died with Scott on his way back from the Pole.  (ANT343, $35.00)
