    Summary note
    Photographic chronicle of the Scott expedition to the South Pole showing the original 60 member team through the various stages until the final 150 mile attempt by 5 men after leaving the last supporting party. Informative record of equipment, orienteering, natural phenomena, animal life, weather conditions. Severe storms plaqued the exploring party, with suffering from snow blindness, frostbite, injuries, and finally lack of food.
    Notes
    Photography from the Scott expedition made into a film by Herbert Ponting in 1924 entitled The Great white silence. In 1933, this film was issued with the addition of sound and an introduction and commentary by Ponting. The British National Film Archive restored the film in 1992.
