Ahoy there, Antarctic exploration buffs! Just as Captain Scott’s Vanguard Parties pushed ahead to break-trail through Antarctic snows, so this limited-run volume is the vanguard for a ground-breaking new publication. Inside these pages, you will find a treasure trove of information. It is the first time that a comprehensive list of the full complement of those involved with the British Antarctic Expedition 1910 -1913 aboard Terra Nova has been published. It is, if you will, a Who's Who or a Field Guide to the heroes of this remarkable expedition. I hope that you will find it informative and enjoyable. That said, there are still errors, so I am hoping that you will also have a lot of fun hunting down and correcting these!
This work comprises part of Terra Nova Illustrated: Pictures From Captain Scott’s Last Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913. So much detailed technical work was achieved during this project that it has demanded a volume to itself. This is the draft! I am publishing it ahead of the full work for a reason: the unreliable nature of the sources means bloopers and oversights remain within! It has reached the point where further learned assistance is required to remove these – yours!
So, I am asking for your help - for ALL HANDS TO MAKE GOOD! - Have you spotted errors? Do you have extra biographical information, or photographs for those still without? This is your chance to help me properly map this new terrain! Please send any comments, corrections, improvements and additions to me as soon as possible at:
Deus volente, both pioneering volumes of Terra Nova Illustrated: Pictures From Captain Scott’s Last Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913, will go to the printer in early 2027, to become fully available to you all in the Spring.
Here you will find a treasure trove of information on Captain Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition, a Who’s Who or Field Guide to the Crew and Hero’s of this remarkable expedition.
So much detailed technical work was achieved during this project that it has demanded a volume to itself, which we present here.
