The Worst Journey in the World

The Worst Journey in the World

Apsley Cherry-Garrard
Apsley Cherry-Garrard's memoir of Scott's Antarctic expedition is widely considered the greatest polar narrative ever written. The winter journey to Cape Crozier to collect emperor penguin eggs is suffering on a scale that defies comprehension. Cherry-Garrard writes about it with devastating understatement.
