Zitat des Tages von Robert Falcon Scott:

As one looks across the barren stretches of the pack, it is sometimes difficult to realise what teeming life exists immediately beneath its surface.

Robert Falcon Scott

I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record.

We are weak, writing is difficult, but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.
