One Canadian, Gareth Wood, and two Englishmen, Roger Mear and Robert Swan, crossed the snow and ice of Antarctica to the South Pole, without dogs or radios, mechanical support or caches of food. Their expedition was titled "In the Footsteps of Scott". Unlike Scott's adventure, this trek ended happily. Each man hauled a sled loaded with 350 pounds of survival gear, checking their progress daily against Scott's journals. In the course of this epic struggle, three self-assured individuals began to learn the value of cooperation and teamwork as they avoided a disaster of their own.

		A First-Rate Tragedy: Robert Falcon Scott & the Race to the South Pole By Diana Preston Purchase Now Online! ISBN: 0395933498 | Hardcover | 304 Pages Year Published: 1998 Published by: Houghton Mifflin Company
British explorer Robert F. Scott spent three years exploring the Antarctic, returning to England a hero in 1904. His ambition was to be the first man to reach the South Pole, and he overcame innumerable obstacles to assemble another expedition, which left in 1910. Scott and three of his men did reach the pole, only to discover that Norwegian Roald Amundsen had been there only five weeks earlier. Slightly more than two months later, Scott and his companions died in their tents, their bodies--and Scott's diaries--found eight months later by a search party. This account of Scott, having followed the explorer from childhood through his naval training and marriage, gives us at the end not only a national symbol but a fully developed tragic hero. Diana Preston commendably ventures beyond the longstanding myth, including material that shows how Scott's decisions and faulty judgements ultimately sealed his fate.

		Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage By Alfred Lansing Purchase Now Online! ISBN: 0881841781 | Paperback | 282 Pages Year Published: 1986 Published by: Carroll & Graf
In the summer of 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton set off aboard the Endurance bound for the South Atlantic. The goal of his expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland, but more than a year later, and still half a continent away from the intended base, the Endurance was trapped in ice and eventually was crushed. For five months Shackleton and his crew survived on drifting ice packs in one of the most savage regions of the world before they were finally able to set sail again in one of the ship's lifeboats. Alfred Lansing's Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage is a white-knuckle account of this astounding odyssey. Through the diaries of team members and interviews with survivors, Lansing reconstructs the months of terror and hardship the Endurance crew suffered. In October of 1915, there "were no helicopters, no Weasels, no Sno-Cats, no suitable planes. Thus their plight was naked and terrifying in its simplicity. If they were to get out--they had to get themselves out." How Shackleton did indeed get them out without the loss of a single life is at the heart of Lansing's magnificent true-life adventure tale.
