"Um Gottes willen, sorgt für unsere Hinterbliebenen." – Es sind Worte wie diese, geschrieben mit erstarrender Hand in einem sturmumtosten Zelt, die "Letzte Fahrt" zu einem der ergreifendsten Dokumente der Entdeckungsgeschichte machen. Die Tagebücher des britischen Marineoffiziers und...

Capt. Robert F. Scott's bid to be the leader of the first expedition to reach the South Pole is one of the most famous journeys of all time. What started as a scientific expedition turned out to be an unwilling race against a team lead by R. Admunsen to reach the Pole.
