Becoming the first explorer to reach the South Pole was arguably the last great adventure, one in which it was assumed that Britain would triumph. Who could meet a challenge against all the odds? None other than Scott of the Antarctic. Andrew Lound returns to talk us through Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, told in a dramatic presentation. With remarkable images and sound effects, you will feel the chill of the icy wind and Scott’s excitement at the prospect of making history - and reel at his subsequent disappointment.
