be the first people to reach the South Pole. Amidst freezing
temperatures and raging winds, Scott and four others made it to the

morale and facing ever-plunging temperatures, the trek home would
prove a harrowing task. Find out if Scott and his men ever made it
back home from their frozen adventure.
English explorer Henry Hudson had long searched for a quicker,
northern sailing route from Europe to Asia. Three previous

The crew lost faith in their captain’s leadership and began to
plot... mutiny! Told through a gripping, full-colour graphic novel
format, this Deadly Expeditions tale transports readers back in
time to follow the fourth, and final, voyage of Henry Hudson,
bringing history to life for even the most reluctant and struggling
readers.
