It is Cherry-Garrad's first-person account of Scott's last Antarctic Expedition from 1910-13. The best written and most enduring account of exploits in the Antarctic. Taurus. A classic - it has been called "The best polar book ever written." Very Good. "It was perhaps the only real stroke of luck in Scott's ill fated [Terra Nova] expedition that Cherry-Garrard, the one survivor of the winter journey, happened to be able to describe it so effectively that the reader forgets how comfortable he is in his arm-chair, and remembers the tale with a shiver as if he had been through it himself." George Bernard Shaw.
