The diary of the polar captain. Scott R.

Captain Robert Folkon Scott (1868-1912) is a great and tragic figure, even by strict standards of severe polar researchers. Not in a figurative, but literally, he put his life on the achievement of the south pole of the Earth. Competing with the expedition of Rual Amundsen, Scott and his comrades reached the pole, found the Norwegian flag there - and died on the way back. Was their victim in vain? The truth is simple: from childhood we are brought up with examples. What examples are more necessary for a person: money -grubbing and conformism - or nobility and feat? The inheritance of Captain Scott, not always grateful descendants got a high example of the power of the human spirit, but attentive and sensitive readers - travel diaries and farewell letters - a book that can not only captivate with exciting descriptions of polar romance, but also touch the heart and soul. Travel diaries and farewell letters of the great pioneer - a will to descendants. A will, to which only the words of the poet tennyson can be added, carved on the grave of the polar captain: "Fight and search, find and not give up."
