Status Updates From The Voyage of the Discovery

‘Report says that frequently one man was trying to capture another under the impression that he was a penguin’

‘Life was a bright thing to him, and it is something to think that death must have come quickly in the grip of that icy sea.‘

Isle of Wight represent! (The Discovery sailed from Cowes)

Scott referring to the regions of the Antarctic as ‘the Wendell quadrant’ etc is giving sci fi, I love it 😂
