Editorial Reviews: Product Description Volume 1 Encouraged by his friend and neighbor George Bernard Shaw, Cherry-Garrard wrote The Worst Journey in the World. At the age of 25 he was one of the youngest members of Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition and wrote a memoir of the 1910-1913 expedition to Antarctica. He wrote of the extreme difficulties and suffering of the explorers while on expedition to reach the retrieve eggs of the Emperor penguin for study. In 2001, National Geographic Adventure magazine named The Worst Journey in the World the "number one adventure book of all time."

Customer Reviews: excellent version for kindle August 7, 2008 What a great story of the race to the south pole in 1911-1912 from the perspective of a member of Scott's expedition. The vivid descriptions of every part of living on the antarctic continent for such a long time are incredible. It's such a shame that the Pole crew died so close to their 1 ton depot in the end. Sub stories are included like the description of the boat ride in the Terra Nova from New Zealand to the Ross Sea. The journey to capture emperor penguin eggs at the height of winter is simply bone-chilling. Either of these stories could have made a book unto themselves. This is a great conversion for the kindle. I appreciated that the photographs were scanned in! Highly worth the 1$ price for each of the two parts.
