It is one hundred years today since Scott, Wilson and Bowers succumbed to cold and starvation returning from the South Pole, only 11 miles from a cache of food and fuel which might have saved their lives.

Their bodies were discovered the following Spring and interred in the snow, but items from the ill fated expedition, including Scott's journal, were brought back.

The journal is now online.
