Scott's Last Expedition
2006
read by William Sutherland
In November 1910, a team of explorers left New Zealand led by Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman determined to be the first man to reach the South Pole. This is Scott's detailed memoir of his journey—up until March 29, 1912, when he and the few remaining members of his team died in a brutal blizzard. The daily progress of the expedition is recorded in an immensely vivid and personal narrative.
"The finest modern tale of heroism in exploration."
- Spectator
"Sutherland reads in a matter-of-fact tone befitting a diary. He has a big-man's voice, masculine and robust…Chilling authentic adventure written by someone who braved the worst nature could offer but never forgot that he and his fellows were gentlemen."
- Kliatt
