This gripping story of courage and achievement is the account of Robert Falcon Scott's last fateful expedition to the Antarctic, as told by surviving expedition member Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Cherry-Garrard, whom Scott lauded as a tough, efficient member of the team, tells of the journey from England to South Africa and southward to the ice floes. From there began the unforgettable polar journey across a forbidding and inhospitable region. On November 12, 1912, in arctic temperatures, the author, in a search party, found the bodies of Scott and his companions along with poignant last notebook entries, some of them recorded in this work.
Among Apsley Cherry-Garrard's friends and admirers were John Galsworthy, H. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett, and Bernard Shaw. His background in the arts and humanities makes The Worst Journey in the World stand out as a literary accomplishment as well as a classic in the annals of exploration.

It's a bit information heavy in the beginning but picks up. By the end, I wanted more information!

What did you love best about The Worst Journey in the World?
It's a true story written by one of the people who was actually there and based on journals kept by a few different people, so it gives a few different perspectives of the events.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It did get pretty emotional at some points, especially the journal entries by Scott's team when they realized they were going to die and were debating if they should keep going or kill themselves.There was also some light hearted content, particularly about the habits of the Adélie penguins. It was a nice balance between heavy and light material.
