"Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time that has ever been devised," wrote Apsley Cherry-Garrard in a deceptively jaunty introduction to this classic story of Antarctic exploration, first published in 1922. The youngest member of Scott's last expedition to the South Pole, Cherry-Garrard and his comrades hoped to discover as much as was scientifically possible about the terrain and habitat of Antarctica, and to be the first to reach the Pole. Instead, as he relates in this honest and emotional account, the party was plagued by bad luck, weather conditions of unanticipated ferocity, and their own physical deterioration as they struggled to return, dismally aware that Roald Amundsen had beaten them to their goal the month before.
