Race for the South Pole

ISBN: 9781441126672 出版年：2010 页码：353 Roland Huntford Bloomsbury Publishing

Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen set sail for Antarctica, each from his own starting point, and the epic race for the South Pole was on. For the first time Scott's unedited diaries run alongside those of both Amundsen and Olav Bjaaland, never before translated into English. Cutting through the welter of controversy to the events at the heart of the story, Huntford weaves the narrative from the protagonists' accounts of their own fate. What emerges is a whole new understanding happened on the ice and the definitive account of the Race for the South Pole.
