Some say Scott had much, much worse weather than Amundsen.

In any case, I recommend the brilliant British tv series “The Last Place on Earth.”

I read the book about The Endurance. The crew members, when finally rescued after two years on the ice asked who won the Great War. They were informed that the war was still on and they had to serve.

I had Batchelor on last night, briefly, before I hit the sack. He had
some relative of Scott's on, pushing that Scott's expedition was a
scientific one, whereas Amundsen's was not.

I didn't listen long enough to get any more.

I did vacation in NZ once. Statue of Scott, and a museum has stuff
recovered from the expedition, including his diary.

I saw that series, but a Polar explorer prepares for bad, and worse, weather. Why would you not?
