Through the eyes of the men involved, Meredith Hooper recounts one
of the greatest tales of adventure and endurance, which has often
been overshadowed by the tragedy that befell Scott. Their tents
were torn, their food was nearly finished, and the ship had failed
to pick up the members of Scott's Northern Party as planned.
Gale-force winds blew, bitter with the cold of approaching winter.
Stranded and desperate, Lieutenant Victor Campbell and his five
companions faced disaster. They burrowed inside a snowdrift,
digging an ice cave with no room to stand upright, but space for
six sleeping bags on the floor--the three officers on one side, the
three seamen on the other. Circumstances forced them closer
together, their roles blurred, and a shared sense of reality
emerged. This mutual suffering made them indivisible and somehow
they made it through the longest winter. To the south, the men
waiting at headquarters knew that Scott and his Polar party must be
dead and hoped that another six lives would not be added to the
death toll. Working from diaries, journals, and letters written by
expedition members, Meredith Hooper tells the intensely human story
of Scott's other expedition.
