Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) is a great and tragic figure, even by the strict standards of harsh polar explorers. Not figuratively, but literally, he laid down his life to reach the South Pole of the Earth. Competing with the expedition of Roald Amundsen, Scott and his companions reached the pole, found there the Norwegian flag - and died on the way back. Was their sacrifice in vain? The truth is simple: we are brought up from childhood by examples. What examples is more necessary for a man: greed and conformism - or nobility and deeds? Captain Scott's legacy to his not always grateful descendants was a high example of the strength of the human spirit, and to 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 testament to posterity. A testament to which we can add only the words of the poet Tennyson, carved on the tomb of the polar captain: "Fight and search, find and do not give up".
