Few people know that Captain Scott took his own photographs on the Terra Nova expedition, and fewer still have seen them. Their sudden recent reappearance and publication has given the world, for the first time, a fascinating insight into Scott's momentous achievements on earth's last unexplored continent. For this limited edition18 photographs were carefully selected for their beauty and poignancy and are illustrative of Scott's entire expedition: five were taken on Ross Island (the expedition's base), two on the Spring journey to the Ferrar Glacier and eleven on that fateful march to the Pole.
