The Worst Journey in the World: Volume 1 - Making Our Easting Down
Description
"Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised." — Apsley Cherry-Garrard
Before the Pole...
Before Antarctica...
Before everything went wrong...
It's June 1910, and Cherry, inexperienced and unqualified, has just joined Captain Scott's new expedition to the South Pole. Simply getting to Antarctica turns out to be an adventure in itself. As they sail the Terra Nova through one trial after another, the scientists and Navy men learn to work as a team—but are they a match for the fury of the Southern Ocean, which threatens to sink the expedition before it even begins?
Apsley Cherry-Garrard wrote The Worst Journey in the World as a testament to his companions and the experiences they shared. Humanizing one of the most famous epics of exploration, his book has been a beloved classic since 1922. The people and their adventures are brought vividly back to life in this graphic adaptation by Disney veteran Sarah Airriess, with further facts offered for the curious.
