      Robert Falcon Scott: It is a terrible disappointment and I am very sorry for my loyal companions... Great God! this is an awful place.

    • Crazy credits
      Just before the end credits, a verse from Punch is reproduced: "So on their record, writ for all to know / The task achieved, the homeward way half-won / Though cold they lie beneath their pall of snow, / Shines the eternal sun."

    Wow!
    As an Argentinian, so close to antarctic, being some of their inhabitants also In Patagonia. Having several friends that have been in Antártica, I find this a great documentary, like opening a window 110 years ago. I honor those men that went into the unknown, like the sailors of corvette Uruguay, that sailed in rescue to antarctic a century an 20 years ago
