Bøger af Robert Falcon Scott

Året er 1910. Robert F. Scott sejler fra New Zealand på skibet Terra Nova med kursen stik syd – målet er Sydpolen.To år senere må Scott og de sidste overlevende fra hans hold opgive kampen mod isen. De har nået Sydpolen, en måned efter Roald Amundsen, men når aldrig hjem. Fanget i en voldsom snestorm må de slå deres telt op for sidste gang – og Scott ved det er slut. De er kun 18 km fra næste depot.Dette er de fulde dagbogsoptegnelser fra Robert F. Scotts højdramatiske og i sidste ende tragiske ekspedition til Sydpolen. Dagbøgerne blev fundet på Robert F. Scotts lig 8 måneder efter hans død. Bogen er rigt illustreret med billeder af ekspeditionens fotograf Herbert Ponting.Fra dagbogen:“Jeg tror ikke, der er nogen form for tilværelse, der giver så godt et indblik i folks karakter som livet på ekspeditioner, og man bliver vidne til en ejendommelig forskydning af værdier. Under almindelige forhold er det med en lille smule frækhed let at sætte sin vilje igennem, og selvsikkerhed er en maske, som dækker over mange svagheder. Som regel har vi hverken tid eller lyst til at se bag masken, og på den måde kommer vi let til at værdsætte folk efter deres egen målestok. Men her betyder alt det udvendige ingenting, det er det, som bor i en, der tæller. “Guderne” styrter ned fra deres piedestal, og de ydmyge tager deres plads. Ethvert forsøg på at spille komedie er håbløst.”

Scott und Amundsen: der Kampf im ewigen EisRobert Falcon Scott war bereits zu seiner Forschungsreise in Richtung Antarktis aufgebrochen, als der Abenteurer Roald Amundsen ihm in einem Telegramm überraschend mitteilte, dass auch er eine Expedition unternehmen werde, um als erster Mensch den südlichsten Punkt der Erde zu erreichen. Das vielleicht dramatischste Rennen der Weltgeschichte hatte begonnen. Denn schon bald sollte sich aus dem Duell der Pioniere ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit und den antarktischen Winter entwickeln. In dieser spannenden Lesung ausgewählter Passagen aus Scotts Tagebuch und Amundsens Reisebericht werden die Geschehnisse für den Hörer noch einmal lebendig.Der norwegische Seemann Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) entwickelte sich durch sein Interesse für die Polar- und Meeresforschung in den ersten drei Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts zu einem der bedeutendsten Entdecker und Abenteurer der Geschichte. Er bescherte durch seine unerschrockenen und wagemutigen Unternehmungen der wissenschaftlichen Fachwelt wertvolle Erkenntnisse über den Nord- und Südpol. Sir Robert Falcon Scott wurde am 6. Juni 1868 bei Plymouth geboren, er starb 1912 während einer Expedition in der Antarktis. Auf Betreiben seines Vaters trat Scott mit 13 nach Abschluss der Schule der Royal Navy bei. Diese Berufswahl war nicht abwegig, da in der Familie Scotts von beiden Seiten eine Seefahrertradition bestand. Über verschiedene Ausbildungsstationen diente er sich vom Seekadett auf dem Ausbildungsschiff "HMS Britannia" hoch bis zum Torpedoleutnant auf der "HMS Majestic".
