Episode 3: The Doomed Terra Nova Antarctic Expedition of Robert Falcon Scott

Campfire Stories: Astonishing History

Come gather around the campfire and hear about the freezing race to the South Pole.
The Heroic Age of Arctic Exploration was in full swing, and British explorer Robert Falcon Scott led two voyages to the largely unexplored continent of Antarctica with the Royal Geographical Society. His first expedition was called the Discovery, but it was his second expedition, the Terra Nova, that would become infamous for its achievement, its intense competition with the Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen, and its tragic end. It sparked decades of historical debate, multiple books, and a feature film Scott of the Antarctic. One of his crew members might also have been murdered. It's a mess.
